If "topology" means "general topology", I strongly recommend General Topology by Ryszard Engelking. It is the deepest monograph in this area I have ever met. It starts from zero and leads to the problems of contemporary topology (up to year of origin of the book).

Munkres is the best to start in my opinion. Afterwards you can move on to Hatcher.
