Edmond Dantès, falsely imprisoned for life on a political charge, escapes after fourteen years, and uncovers a treasure so fabulous that it might have come right out of the Arabian Nights. Rich and free, acting anonymously, he enriches his old friends, and then cries, "Farewell kindness, humanity, and gratitude! Farewell to all the feelings that expand the heart! I have been heaven's substitute to recompense the good—now the god of vengeance yields to me his power to punish the wicked!"
