one of the profound books on human minds is "count of monte cristo" by alaxandre dumas. each one of the characters is so well depicted that one tends to identify with them. dumas' sequence of events is also remarkable in the sense that one can see a logical thread running throughout.
well! the story is of a young sailor (edmond dante) who is a victim of a plot of 3 people and as a result suffers from life imprisonment in a prison on an island and also loses his father and his beloved fiancee. there he comes into contact with a person called abbe faria who introduces him to the mysteries of life and science and also bequeathes to him a large treasure hid in an island called monte cristo. edmond manages to escape and takes possession of the treasure. how he returns of marseilles and takes revenge on the persons who caused him immeasurable grief is the story.
a wonderful book filled with gems of wisdom on human nature, greed et al.
