The Marble Faun; Or, The Romance Of Monte Beni - Volume 1

Meer over het boek

The narrative centers on four main characters: Miriam, a talented painter haunted by her mysterious past; Hilda, a morally steadfast woman often compared to the Virgin Mary; Kenyon, a rational sculptor devoted to Hilda; and Donatello, the Count of Monte Beni, who is enamored with Miriam and may share a mystical connection with an ancient Faun. Themes of identity, morality, and the intertwining of art and life are explored, as the characters navigate their complex relationships and the influence of a sinister figure in Miriam's life.
