Today is the anniversary of the publication of the first installment of "The Count of Monte Cristo" in the newspaper "Journal des Débats"(in 1884).

I had the site ready for launch today and already including "The Count of Monte Cristo", but I pushed the book to be the first one on the list and mention it in the title precisely because of the Google Doodle.



You’ve quoted google’s write up, but surely they made a mistake - the year should be “1844”, no?

You are right! I did a better research while creating the site, so it is correct there. To answer this question I just went to check Google's explanation and copied their mistake.

Yes, 1844 is the correct year.
