The Count of Monte Cristo - Chapter 22 – The Smugglers

Chapter 22 – The Smugglers (Modern English, Audio Format).
Now aboard the Genoese tartan La Jeune Amélie, Edmond Dantès realizes he has joined a crew of smugglers. His seamanship and quick wit win their trust, but his heart and mind remain fixed on the promise of treasure hidden on the Island of Monte Cristo. In Leghorn, a barber’s mirror reveals how much prison has changed him—his youthful face hardened into that of a stranger, unrecognizable even to old friends. Clean-shaven, dressed anew, and growing in strength, Edmond prepares for his future. When fate leads the smugglers to plan a run using Monte Cristo as their secret harbor, Edmond seizes the chance he has been waiting for.
