#also in the english version you can't tell that they're se vouvoyering except for RIGHT after he says albert can live she calls him tu 🥺

if i were stranded on a desert island and could only bring one book with me, it wouldn't be the count of monte-cristo. HOWEVER, if i were stranded on a desert island and for some reason could only bring one chapter of the count of monte-cristo with me (don't @ me i don't know how getting stranded on desert islands works), it would be this one.

le comte de monte-cristo, chapitre LXXXIX, la nuit

the count of monte-cristo, chapter 89, the night

#i just skimmed through the english version and i'm loving that they've translated 'dénonciateur' (which btw is a very fun word to say) #as 'calumniator'! denunciator is also a word in english and i've never even heard of calumniator lol #also in the english version you can't tell that they're se vouvoyering except for RIGHT after he says albert can live she calls him tu 🥺 #and omg i love the part where he says his whole melodramatic bit about dying without vengeance and she thanks him profusely #and his internal reaction is '...that's it???' #'she didn't even try to talk me out of it?' all dumbfounded #the count of monte cristo #my posts
