Odette - Ronald Firbank - Bog

Odette: A Fairy Tale For Weary People is a novella written by British author Ronald Firbank and published in 1916. The story follows the titular character, Odette, a beautiful and mysterious woman who captures the hearts of those around her. Odette is pursued by a wealthy man named Sir Nicholas, who is determined to make her his wife, but she is more interested in the attention of a young artist named Reginald. As Odette moves between these two men and their social circles, she reveals a darker side to her character, leading to a tragic and unexpected ending. Firbank's writing style is known for its whimsy and surrealism, and Odette is no exception, with its dreamlike atmosphere and eccentric characters. The novella is a commentary on the shallow and superficial nature of high society, as well as a meditation on the nature of love and desire. Despite its relatively short length, Odette has been praised for its rich and complex themes, and is considered one of Firbank's most significant works.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
