The Swim to Tiboulen (The Count of Monte Cristo, Chapter 21 – Part 2)
from The Countdown of Monte Cristo · host Grunt Work Podcasts
Guided by the distant light of Planier, Dantès strikes out for the Island of Tiboulen. In The Count of Monte Cristo, Chapter 21, memories of Faria’s warnings push him onward as fear drives him faster through the violent sea. For an hour he swims with all his strength, the château fading into darkness behind him, until exhaustion sets in and doubt chills his resolve. ⸻ New to the journey?
