Monte Cristo and Juan Fernandez Islands in 19th Century Tales
The article recounts Monte Cristo as a future hunting retreat for Italy's Victor Emmanuel III and details Juan Fernandez as a famed penal colony site. It notes explorers and pirates, Selkirk’s solitude inspiring Robinson Crusoe, and Chilean use of the island for confinement with brutal cave prisons for two decades before abandonment and sporadic reuse into the 1800s.
