when does count of monte cristo take place
The Count of Monte Cristo The story takes place in France, Italy, and islands in the Mediterranean during the historical events of 1815â€“1839: the era of the Bourbon Restoration through the reign of Louis-Philippe of France. It begins just before the Hundred Days period (when Napoleon returned to power after his exile). The historical setting is a fundamental element of the book, an adventure story primarily concerned with themes of hope, justice, vengeance, mercy, and forgiveness. It centres on a man who is wrongfully imprisoned, escapes from jail, acquires a fortune, and sets about exacting revenge on those responsible for his imprisonment. His plans have devastating consequences for both the innocent and the guilty.

The Case for Christ, September 1, 1998, Zondervan, ISBN 0-310-22605-8 Strobel's personal experience while encountering these scholars and their beliefs was portrayed in the 2017 drama film of the same name.
