Produktbeschreibung
The Venetians: A Novel explores the unpredictable twists of fate and the impact of spontaneous decisions on life s course. Set against the vibrant backdrop of the Venice Carnival, the novel follows a man caught between fleeting attraction and the heavy consequences that follow. The festive atmosphere quickly shifts from lighthearted celebration to a series of events that take a darker turn, illustrating the unpredictable nature of human interactions. The protagonist, drawn to the allure of a foreign culture, finds himself in a precarious situation that will forever alter his life. The story delves into themes of love, fate, and the fragile nature of chance encounters. As the protagonist's impulsive actions lead to unintended consequences, the narrative explores how easily one's life can change in an instant, driven by passion and poor judgment. The contrast between the Carnival s carefree energy and the violent outcome underscores the tension between desire and the harsh realities that can arise from it, leaving the protagonist to confront the irreversible consequences of his decisions.
Autorenporträt
Mary Elizabeth Braddon (1835 1915) was an English novelist, best known for her sensationalist novels during the Victorian era. Her 1862 novel Lady Audley's Secret is particularly famous, earning her widespread recognition and cementing her place in literary history. Braddon s works often dealt with themes of hidden secrets, psychological tension, and societal norms, becoming widely popular with Victorian readers. She was born in London and had a varied career, initially acting before turning to writing. Her work often blended romance, mystery, and drama, and she became a key figure in the genre of sensation novels. Braddon s personal life was also colorful; she had a long relationship with her publisher, John Maxwell, whom she married in 1874. She had two children, both of whom also pursued literary careers. Braddon s influence on Victorian fiction was significant, and her works were admired for their compelling plots and ability to explore darker aspects of human nature, often challenging the moral and social codes of her time. She passed away at the age of 79 in Richmond, leaving behind a legacy that continues to be appreciated in both literary and popular contexts.
