各界推薦

各界推薦 大凡成功的通俗小說，無不是情節曲折，波瀾起伏的。《基度山恩仇記》在這一點上堪稱典範。 小說一開卷就緊緊吸引住讀者。主人公唐泰斯遠航歸來，準備結婚；他年輕有為，做了代理船長，前程似錦。可是，他的才幹受到船上會計唐格拉爾的嫉恨，在唐格拉爾的策劃下，他的情敵費爾南向當局告了密，誣陷他是拿破崙黨人。於是飛來一場橫禍；在他舉行訂婚儀式時，他被當局逮捕。恰巧他的案件牽連到檢察官維勒福的父親，維勒福為了保護其自身利益，將唐泰斯毫不留情地打入死牢。 這一富於戲劇性的開場正是「一石激起千重浪」，為下文跌宕起伏的情節打下了合理的基礎。緊接著唐泰斯在黑牢裡的經歷更是寫得有聲有色，這是全書最精彩的部分之一。唐泰斯在獄中一度滿懷希望，以為維勒福會公正地釋放他，隨後希望破滅，他起了輕生的念頭。
