The Count of Monte Cristo is a clever multi-disciplined novel written by Alexandre Dumas. Why so is that he also wrote the Three Musketeers and so there is some mathematics other than literature skills involved. The long and complex plot involves some algebraic calculations. Since their tagline is "All for One and One For All" the reader has to expect a lot of solidarity among the weaker sex. This particular novel has also violent material as well as sporadic adultery that has become the template for Hollywood centuries later. It is also set in very romantic times where feudalism has created Prince Charmings and damsels in duress.
