Produktbeschreibung

¿¿¿¿ In a world of silk and diamonds, who's conning whom? In The Duchess and the Jeweller, Virginia Woolf spins a taut, glittering tale about Oliver Bacon, London's most fashionable jeweller, who has risen from rags to riches. When the Duchess of Lambourne, a symbol of fading aristocracy, arrives with a suspiciously convenient offer, a psychological battle unfolds-one of class, ego, and hidden motives. Told in Woolf's signature stream-of-consciousness style, this short story is both a character portrait and a subtle critique of materialism and social pretense. In just a few pages, Woolf masterfully reveals the fragile power plays between wealth and status, truth and illusion. ¿¿¿¿ Why this story is a hidden gem: A brilliant example of modernist storytelling in short form Explores greed, manipulation, and class anxiety with elegance Showcases Woolf's mastery of interior monologue and layered meaning A thought-provoking read for fans of psychological fiction and social satire ¿¿¿¿ Perfect for readers who enjoy: Short fiction with depth and literary elegance Modernist prose and social critique Stories of moral conflict and internal tension Classic literature with rich symbolic meaning ¿¿¿¿ What readers are saying: "A tight, sparkling piece of social commentary-Woolf at her most clever." - Modernist Fiction Review "Brief but biting. It leaves you thinking long after the final line." - Amazon Reviewer ¿¿¿¿ Click "Buy Now" and experience a literary jewel of wit, wealth, and wickedness from one of modernism's finest voices.
