Opening of the book
Monte-Cristo's Daughter.
SEQUEL TO
ALEXANDER DUMAS'
GREAT NOVEL, THE "COUNT OF MONTE-CRISTO," AND
CONCLUSION OF "EDMOND DANTÈS."
By
Edmund Flagg
"Monte-Cristo's
Daughter,"
a
wonderfully
brilliant, original, exciting and absorbing
novel, is the Sequel to "The Count of MonteCristo," Alexander Dumas' masterwork, and the continuation and conclusion of that great romance, "Edmond Dantès." It possesses rare power, unflagging interest and an intricate plot that for constructive skill and efficient development stands unrivalled.
Zuleika, the beautiful daughter of MonteCristo and Haydée, is the heroine, and her suitor, the Viscount Giovanni Massetti, an ardent, impetuous young Roman, the hero. The latter, through a flirtation with a pretty flower-girl,
Annunziata
Solara,
becomes
involved in a maze of suspicion that points
to him as an abductor and an assassin,
causes his separation from Zuleika and
converts
him
into
a
maniac.
The
straightening
out
of
these
tangled
complications constitutes the main theme of
the thrilling book. The novel abounds in
ardent love scenes and stirring adventures.
The Count of Monte-Cristo figures largely in
it, and numerous Monte-Cristo characters are
introduced. "Monte-Cristo's Daughter" is the
latest addition to Petersons' famous series,
consisting of "The Count of Monte-Cristo,"
"Edmond Dantès," "The Countess of MonteCristo," "The Wife of Monte-Cristo," and
"The Son of Monte-Cristo."
