. .

Résumé :
A thrilling ascent and a perilous fall, written with the sweeping confidence of a master storyteller.

This volume offers more than a readable hark back to victorian england...

Sommaire:
it is a careful blend of aristocratic ambition and scandal, moral downfall and redemption, and a sharp social critique that reverberates through the ages. From political intrigue to the subtle traps of london victorian society, Bulwer Lytton's mingling of intimate longing with public consequence powers a nineteenth century gothic drama that rewards patient reading and rich discussion. The work bears the influence of the era's greatest voices-Edgar Allan Poe's atmosphere and Thackeray's keen social satire-while remaining accessible to contemporary readers, all within a crime-and-courtly-court setting that invites a scholarly classics reading list to sit beside a thrilling romance. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions, this edition is restored for today's and future generations. It is not a mere reprint but a collector edition recommendation and a cultural treasure, ideal for both casual readers seeking a deft, emotionally charged narrative and classic-literature lovers assembling a refined shelf of nineteenth-century route to modern sensibilities....
