The Island of Tiboulen (The Count of Monte Cristo, Chapter 21 – Part 3)

Exhausted and close to despair, Dantès finally strikes land.

In The Count of Monte Cristo, Chapter 21, he drags himself onto the grotesque rocks of Tiboulen and collapses in gratitude, falling into deep sleep despite the storm. Awakened by thunder, he resolves to swim onward to the nearby island of Lemaire when the sea calms — seeking safety and concealment.
