Produktbeschreibung

A wealthy jeweller. A desperate duchess. A bargain neither can escape. The Duchess and the Jeweller (1938), by Virginia Woolf, is a sharp and unsettling short story that exposes the corrupting forces of wealth, ambition, and moral compromise. The tale follows Oliver Bacon, London's richest jeweller, whose rise from poverty to power has left him hungry for status and validation. When a glamorous duchess tempts him with a dangerous deal-jewels of dubious worth in exchange for influence and access-Oliver faces the ultimate test of greed versus integrity. Written with Woolf's signature psychological depth and modernist style, the story serves as both a vivid character portrait and a biting social commentary on class, vanity, and human weakness. Though brief, it delivers the impact of a novel, proving Woolf's mastery not only of experimental fiction but also of moral storytelling. ¿¿¿¿ Click "Buy Now" and discover Virginia Woolf's piercing short story of wealth, deception, and desire.
