   Tigre, Tigre por Alfred Bester (rareflorida)

   rareflorida: An old SciFi classic based upon The Count of Monte Cristo. Be patient because the begining of the story may be frustrating but you will eventually see the intelligence.

   El tulipán negro por Alexandre père Dumas (2below)

   2below: These stories share some key themes and plot elements. It's not nearly as epic as The Count of Monte Cristo but makes for an interesting comparison.

    The Count of Monte Cristo por Kevin Reynolds (Usuario anónimo)

    Usuario anónimo: Fascinating interpretation. Very free and very different. Really an independent work of art. If not superior to the novel, certainly not inferior to it either. Great script, superb cast, beautiful music, gorgeous production design.

    Selected Short Stories por Guy de Maupassant (bokai)

    bokai: While Maupassant's power is in his slice of life short stories told in an objective narrative voice and Dumas is the master of the thousand page epic told (see more) in highly sympathetic narration, both authors evoke images of the same France and are unequaled in their skill at bringing character and conflict to life.

    La reina del sur por Arturo Pérez-Reverte (lilisin)

    lilisin: "Queen of the South" is a modern retake on "The Count". Not my favorite read but you can definitely see the parallels.

    Ben-Hur: Una historia de los tiempos de Cristo por Lew Wallace (Usuario anónimo)

    Usuario anónimo: The Count of Monte Cristo was the inspiration for Ben-Hur; the main character Edmond Dantes is falsely accused, escapes his imprisonment and seeks vengeance on those responsible for his imprisonment.
