The unabridged Count of Monte Cristo is a blockbuster that puts Hollywood to shame in its scale. Even has a chapter on a bloodbath, that looked to me as something that could have inspired some one like Tarantino. Pirates, murders, poisoning mystery, Prison escapades, Roman banditi, political intrigue, it has all of it and more.
