概要

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 Man Called Sinbad (The Count of Monte Cristo, Chapter 31 – Part 15)

    The Man Called Sinbad (The Count of Monte Cristo, Chapter 31 – Part 15)
    2026/01/23

    Blindfolded and guided along the shore, Franz recognizes the smell of roasting kid as he passes the smugglers’ camp, then senses a shift in air and sound that tells him he has entered a cave. A sudden warmth and perfumed atmosphere surround him before his feet land on thick, luxurious carpet. Released by his escorts, he hears a voice—cultured, fluent in French, and unmistakably foreign—inviting him to remove the bandage. Franz complies at once, finding himself face-to-face with a striking man dressed in richly embroidered Tunisian costume: pale, handsome, sharp-featured, with glittering eyes and the bearing of someone both refined and formidable. Yet even more astonishing than the host is the place itself—an opulent, hidden chamber that exceeds every rumor Franz had dismissed as fantasy.

  • The Enigma of “Sinbad the Sailor” (The Count of Monte Cristo, Chapter 31 – Part 14)

    The Enigma of “Sinbad the Sailor” (The Count of Monte Cristo, Chapter 31 – Part 14)
    2026/01/22

    Franz presses the sailor for answers and finds only deeper mystery. The splendid yacht belongs not to a smuggler, but to a wealthy traveler who roams the seas for pleasure—a man known only as “Sinbad the Sailor.” No one seems to know his country, his real name, or where he resides beyond “on the sea.” Rumors place him in a hidden subterranean palace accessible only by a magic word, a tale straight out of the Arabian Nights. As Franz marvels at the strangeness of the encounter, the sentinel arrives with two crewmen to escort him. Silently, they blindfold him with meticulous care, ensuring he cannot glimpse the path to their master. Franz promises not to lift the bandage, stepping fully into the adventure.

  • The Smugglers’ Mysterious Chief (The Count of Monte Cristo, Chapter 31 – Part 13)

    The Smugglers’ Mysterious Chief (The Count of Monte Cristo, Chapter 31 – Part 13)
    2026/01/21

    Gaetano admits he would accept the blindfold—if only out of curiosity—and hints at the strange reputation surrounding the smugglers’ chief. Lowering his voice, he repeats the rumors: that the man lives in a cavern whose magnificence rivals a palace, a place of treasures fit for a fairy tale. Though skeptical, Franz is intrigued. Reasoning that a man so wealthy has no motive to rob him, he agrees to the invitation. Seeking more information, Franz questions a sailor about how the smugglers arrived, since no vessel is visible. The sailor reveals they came in a yacht—strong, seaworthy, and capable of circling the world—though its origins remain uncertain. The mystery deepens, and Franz prepares to meet his enigmatic host.
