Meer over het boek

Set in a fictionalized 13th-century France, the story intertwines comedy, fantasy, and themes of woman-worship through the character of Melicent, daughter of the legendary Dom Manuel. As she becomes the object of desire for two chivalrous men, Perion and Demetrios, their rivalry escalates into conflict. The narrative explores the complexities of love, power struggles, and the often idealized perception of women. Cabell's work offers a timeless reflection on gender dynamics, making it relevant for contemporary readers while celebrating escapism and adventure.
