The Countdown of Monte Cristo

無料で聴く

A daily podcast reading The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas, one page at a time, every single day, over the course of four years.

Each short episode offers a focused, intimate passage from Dumas’ sweeping tale of betrayal, imprisonment, revenge, and redemption, accompanied by brief reflections, historical context, and the occasional detour into 19th-century oddities (and yes, the occasional mangled French pronunciation).

Never read The Count of Monte Cristo? Perfect. This podcast is designed for first-time readers, longtime admirers, and anyone curious about experiencing a literary classic as a daily ritual rather than a daunting tome. You can start from the beginning or jump in wherever you are, the story unfolds steadily, patiently, one page at a time.

Whether you’re a lover of classic literature, a podcast listener looking for a calm daily escape, or someone who just wants a few quiet minutes away from the noise of the modern world, The Countdown of Monte Cristo invites you to live with one of the greatest novels ever written.

New episodes every day. No skipping. No rushing.

    The Presentation — Monte Cristo’s First Conversation with Morcerf (The Count of Monte Cristo, Chapter 41 – Part 7)
    2026/09/06

    In The Count of Monte Cristo, Albert formally presents the count to his father, Count de Morcerf, in the family salon.

    Morcerf warmly expresses his gratitude for Albert’s rescue, while Monte Cristo quietly studies the older man’s face from the shadow of the curtains. Their conversation turns to Morcerf’s military career, his retirement after the July Revolution, and his transition from the battlefield into politics and industry as they await the arrival of the countess.

    Courtesy and conversation conceal careful observation on both sides.

    The Presentation — Monte Cristo Meets Count de Morcerf (The Count of Monte Cristo, Chapter 41 – Part 6)
    2026/09/05

    In The Count of Monte Cristo, Albert leads the count into the Morcerf family salon, where another portrait commands attention.

    Monte Cristo studies the painted likeness of Count de Morcerf, noting the military uniform and distinguished decorations that mark his career. Moments later, the portrait gives way to reality as Count de Morcerf himself enters the room. Monte Cristo remains motionless, his gaze fixed on the man before him.

    The long-awaited introduction begins in complete silence.

  • The Presentation — Monte Cristo Examines the Morcerf Coat of Arms (The Count of Monte Cristo, Chapter 41 – Part 5)

    The Presentation — Monte Cristo Examines the Morcerf Coat of Arms (The Count of Monte Cristo, Chapter 41 – Part 5)
    2026/09/04

    In The Count of Monte Cristo, the conversation turns from the Morcerf family coat of arms to the history it represents.

    Albert explains the origins of his family’s heraldry, tracing his father’s French lineage and his mother’s Spanish heritage. Monte Cristo discusses the symbolism of heraldic emblems, the legacy of the Crusades, and the significance of the Morcerf blazon before remarking that Albert’s mother’s Catalan features now make perfect sense.

    A discussion of heraldry quietly reveals the stories carried within a family’s history.
