SANDRA BELLONI - [ORIGINALLY EMILIA IN ENGLAND] - CHAPTER I
"CAN YOU PRAY? CAN YOU PUT AWAY ALL PROPS OF SELF? THIS IS TRUE WORSHIP, UNTO WHATSOEVER POWER YOU KNEEL."
"LOVE THAT SHRIEKS AT A MORTAL WOUND, AND BLEEDS HUMANLY, WHAT IS HE BUT A PAGAN GOD, WITH THE PASSIONS OF A PAGAN GOD?"
"YOUR LOVER."
EVAN HARRINGTON
VITTORIA
Step into the vivid world of a prolific Victorian writer whose imagination roams from bustling London salons to exotic Persian courts. This expansive collection gathers novels, short stories, essays, and poetry, offering listeners a panoramic view of a mind that blends sharp social observation with lyrical wit. Each work is narrated with a voice that balances humor and earnestness, inviting you to linger over the subtleties of character and society.
Among the titles, a young artist’s turbulent apprenticeship, a daring romance set against moral strictures, and a satirical portrait of a self‑absorbed intellectual showcase the author’s range. A whimsical Arabian tale follows a humble barber on an unexpected journey into a hidden kingdom, while a poignant domestic drama explores love’s complexities within rigid conventions. The prose is richly textured, the dialogue sparkling, and the narrative arcs unfold with a measured, compelling pace.
The collection also includes thoughtful essays on comedy and a selection of poems that reveal the same keen insight and lyrical charm, making this a rewarding listening experience for anyone curious about Victorian literature’s many facets.
