The Son of Monte-Cristo by Jules Lermina
"The Son of Monte-Cristo" by Jules Lermina is a novel written in the late 19th century. This work serves as a sequel to "The Wife of Monte-Cristo" and concludes the continuation of Alexandre Dumas's iconic novel "The Count of Monte-Cristo." The narrative centers around Esperance, the son of the Count, as he embarks on a series of thrilling adventures infused with themes of heroism and romance, particularly his devotion to Jane Zeld,
showcasing a blend of action and emotional depth. At the start of the story, we find Esperance in a deep sleep at Fanfar's home after enduring a harrowing encounter with the Khouans. While he rests, an ominous intruder, the Sultan Maldar—who had previously escaped Monte-Cristo's wrath—stealthily enters the room. In a fateful moment, he kidnaps Esperance to exact revenge on the Count. As panic takes hold, Monte-Cristo senses the danger and gathers a group to rescue his son, leading to a harrowing chase and confrontation in the desert. This opening sets the stage for a gripping tale of bravery, familial bonds, and the relentless pursuit of justice in a richly woven world of dramatic twists and intense emotional stakes.
