The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas

From chapters.ca:
Falsely accused during the final days of Napoleon's reign, Edmond Dantès is imprisoned in the bleak Chateau d'If. After a hair-raising escape, he launches an elaborate plot to extract a bitter revenge against those who betrayed him.

Amazingly, this book is apparently based on true events.
As the original is over 1000 pages, I recommend an abridged version for younger or less patient readers.
