This novel by Alexandre Dumas is a classic of nineteenth century French literature. It follows the intricate social interactions and deceptions of its characters. For a learner, the text presents a challenge due to its descriptive, lengthy sentences and sophisticated vocabulary typical of the era. You will encounter formal dialogue and detailed character portraits that require careful attention. While the narrative is engaging, the complex sentence structures and historical nuances make this a demanding read for those refining their French proficiency.

Questions about this book
What level of French do I need for this book?
The estimate is B2, based on how common the words are and how long the sentences run. It is an approximation, not a test result. With a translation under every sentence you can start one level earlier than you would with a paper copy.
Is this book really free?
Yes. The text is in the public domain and comes from Project Gutenberg, so it costs nothing. In Lingo7 you open the book and read the first page for free; a subscription unlocks the whole library, the audio and the word practice.
How does reading with a translation work?
Lingo7 shows the original sentence and, right under it, the same sentence in your language. Tap a word to see what it means, hear it, and save it for practice. The translation is made while you read, so it works for any book and for 49 languages.
How long does it take to read?
About 10 h 5 min at a native pace, spread over 29 chapters. In a foreign language plan for more: half an hour a day finishes a book of this size in a few weeks.
