The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas is an adventure novel published in 1844. The genres of this book are mixed up history, adventure fiction and romance. The story is set during the early 1800’s and takes place in olden days European countries but mostly took place in France, Rome and Italy. Alexandre Dumas is a pure French citizen which is why he might have wanted to tell the readers a little about history through this creative novel of his.
