Description

Svengali (Trilby) by George du Maurier. Svengali: the mysterious entrepreneur with inexplicable mesmeric powers whose name is a legend. Trilby: his slave - the beautiful, homeless artist's ,model transformed by Svengali into a world-famous singer - although tone-deaf and only able to sing under his influence. George du Maurier's Trilby has become one of the great myths of fiction. It enthralled the public when it first appeared in Harper's - and provoked the artist J. Whistler to sue du Maurier for libel. When the novel was published in book form, certain offending passages were suppressed. Now, for the first time, the classic is fully restored to its original form, with a 'spicy introduction' by Peter Alexander - illustrated with du Maurier's own magnificent line drawings.
