The Yacht at Genoa (The Count of Monte Cristo, Chapter 25 – Part 4)

Edmond begins to shape his new life. In The Count of Monte Cristo, Chapter 25, Dantès parts from La Jeune Amélie with generous gifts that secure the goodwill of her crew, then watches Jacopo sail for Marseilles with instructions to meet him again at Monte Cristo. Traveling on to Genoa, Edmond seizes opportunity: a yacht, built for an Englishman, becomes his for sixty thousand francs in gold. Wealth is now freedom, and the sea — once a prison’s horizon — is again his domain.   ⸻   New to the journey?
