The most intriguing thing about The Count of Monte Cristo is that - everytime a new character appears - you look for tiny hints that this is in fact not a new character but just Dantes with a wig

the crazy thing abt "the literary canon is inaccessible" argument is that. it is quite literally some of the most accessible literature out there. depending on the format you prefer, famous books in the public domain are often available for free. if you're having trouble understanding a book, there are almost always discussion and literary guides that you can also find for free. if you genuinely still find old books too difficult but want to get into them, keep shopping around for authors and genres. if the topic interests you then you'll have more passion for a book and i guarantee you not all 100+y/o authors have confusing writing styles. and once you get into a groove it gets easier and easier, & more and more fun
#txt#i wanna recommend oscar wilde#also the time machine by hg wells absolutely enchanted me when i was 17 tho i still havent gotten into any of his other works yet#also i am absolutely not a jane austen person but from the bazillion times ive tried to start p&p her writing is not difficult either#<- SAME WITH DUMAS BTW#the sherlock holmes books as well! i read the first & keep meaning to read more of them 😭

“Life is a storm, my young friend. You will bask in the sunlight one moment, be shattered on the rocks the next. What makes you a man is what you do when that storm comes. You must look into that storm and shout as you did in Rome. Do your worst, for I will do mine! Then the fates will know you as we know you” ― Alexandre Dumas, The Count of Monte Cristo

Siz kadınlar ise tam tersine vicdan azaplarıyla nadiren kıvranırsınız çünkü kararları nadiren siz alırsınız, başınıza gelen felaketler size hep dayatılmıştır, hatalarınız neredeyse her zaman başkalarının suçlarıdır.
Alexandre Dumas (Monte Cristo Kontu)

Est-ce que vous pensez que Pierre Niney est conscient qu'il vient de devenir LA représentation du héros de cape et d'épée de toute une génération ?

So I'm sure everybody cares but I went to see "le comte of Monte Cristo " (the last adaptation with Niney) and got out of the theater with a splitting headache but absolutely amazed and admiring.
I am a big reader and read a lot of Alexandre Dumas (including Monte Cristo a long time ago) and other dramas and "sad" books but I always was reluctant to see real dramas with ambiguous or sad endings. The only reason I went to see the movie was bc I liked the book.
The movie is in fact harsh, sad and VERY dramatic (like the book) but it is extremely well realised. All of the actors play extremely well and the length to wich Niney went to prepare for the role shows trough the screen.
I was so enthralled by the movie I forgot to eat my popcorn. The movie manages to create an atmosphere like a bubble, and despite not managing to remember very well the book , I did feel IN the book, taken by the story as I had read it.
Yeah so in short, go spend 3h in a theater to watch this film, it's worth it
#alexandre dumas#le comte de monte cristo#pierre niney#the count of monte cristo#Monte Cristo#film review#Who will hyperfixate on the books again and finish them all in three days ?#Because the movie messed with their heads and they can't remember shit about the book now#french movie

Me, rambling to my wife about this crackpot theory I came up with in the shower about how Les Miserables may have been an answer to The Count of Monte Cristo, or at least could be read as such: ... But then Valjean didn't personally screw Javert over like Dantes' enemies did-
My wife: Are you sure Valjean didn't screw Javert? I thought I read that on AO3 once.
#the train of thought leading up to my statement was whether it was Valjean one could read as a foil to Dantes or Javert#'cause of Javert's whole obsession with bringing Valjean to justice#bookblr#les miserables#the count of monte cristo#anyway nothing's gonna come of this crackpot theory of mine 'cause I am no longer in school and have no more essays to write#but by golly this would be a delicious topic to write a big ol' thesis style paper on#still an English major nearly 10 years out of cool leg apparently#well both these books are French but still#OKAY BUT LISTEN the two authors were contemporaries#and maybe arguably friends? according to the bio sketch of dumas in the intro of my CoMC copy?#I would have to do more research on their relationship and also whenabouts each was writing their respective thing#cause iirc aren't both books set around the same time period as well (mid-19th century) with a lot of the action being in Paris?#anyway right#ignore me and my nerdy nerdy book thoughts#these have been rambling tags with usagi
