A proposito di questo titolo
 Enter a world of passion, pride, loyalty, beauty, and ruin.

The Ouida Library brings the novels and stories of Ouida to life in full, restoring the voice of one of the nineteenth century’s most vivid and unconventional storytellers. Here are noble hearts tested by cruel society, faithful animals more virtuous than men, glittering salons shadowed by corruption, and lovers driven to sacrifice, rebellion, and despair.

These are tales of splendour and sorrow, of innocence in conflict with the world, read unabridged for those who still believe that literature should possess colour, feeling, and fire.Public domain
