Summary "The Son of Monte-Cristo, Volume I" by Jules Lermina is a novel written in the late 19th century. This narrative serves as a sequel to Alexandre Dumas's classic tale, featuring the enigmatic Count of Monte-Cristo and diving into the lives of characters entangled in themes of revenge, identity, and the consequences of past actions. The story introduces new protagonists like Benedetto and Eugenie, exploring their ambitions, relationships, and the unfolding drama surrounding a marriage contract, a murder trial, and a family tragedy. At the start of the book, a marriage contract is set to be signed between Eugenie, the daughter of the wealthy banker Danglars, and Count Andrea Cavalcanti. However, the event is disrupted by shocking revelations, including the murder of a former galley slave associated with the count. Recognized through an unexpected twist, the narrative builds a foundation of intrigue as characters grapple with their identities and familial ties. The opening establishes a wealthy societal backdrop where reputation and scandal are at stake, hinting at the imminent chaos as relationships and secrets begin to unspool.
