Show Notes

Chapters 1–28 launch the epic tale that inspired the thrilling Hollywood adaptation starring Jim Caviezel, with the legendary Richard Harris — yes, Dumbledore himself — delivering one of the most memorable mentor roles of his career. If you loved the intense emotion, sweeping drama, and cinematic revenge of the film, this audiobook takes you deeper into the story than the movie ever could.

In these opening chapters, young Edmond Dantès rises toward success, only to be betrayed by jealous rivals and imprisoned without mercy. What follows is a gripping descent into despair, a powerful friendship behind stone walls, and the spark of the vengeance that will define the rest of his journey. Dumas’ storytelling is rich, atmospheric, and intensely cinematic — every scene feels like it belongs on the big screen.

This audiobook captures the full emotional weight and high-stakes drama the film was built on. If the movie pulled you in… the original masterpiece will take you somewhere far deeper. Press play and experience the birth of the legend.
