That Scoundrel Emile Dubois

Sophie de Courcy, the often foolishly romantic companion to the Dowager Countess of Rhuddlan, dreams of excitement. When she marries her long-time hero, the roguish French emigre Emile Dubois, she has more adventure than she wishes as she is catapulted into Gothic happenings, with man vampires and time travel. With the help of her dauntless maid Agnes - who combines Tarot reading with a no-nonsense attitude, and whose own love interest is Emile's swaggering valet and former accomplice, Georges - Sophie must come to terms with Emile's criminal past, and help free him from the machinations of their inhuman neighbours the Kenrick's. Set in North Wales and Revolutionary France, this story combines humour, believable characters and over-the-top Gothic adventure as a pair of down to earth eighteenth century villains become incongruously caught up in occult menace. This darkly comic tale will captivate readers who enjoy a well written spoof of the Gothic tradition.".

For four days this robbery was the town talk of Paris. Then public attention was absorbed by later and equally interesting events: an acrobat broke his leg at the circus; an actress made her debut at a small theatre: and the item of the 28th was soon forgotten. But for once the newspapers were—perhaps intentionally—wrong, or at least inaccurate in their information. The sum of three hundred and fifty thousand francs certainly had been stolen from M. Andre Fauvel's bank, but not in the manner described. A clerk had also been arrested on suspicion, but no decisive proof had been found against him. This robbery of unusual importance remained, if not inexplicable, at least unexplained. The following are the facts as they were related with scrupulous exactness at the preliminary examination.....

The Life of Henry Brulard is the autobiography of one of France's greatest writers, Stendhal, author of The Red and the Black and The Charterhouse of Parma. Here, writing at white heat and with such ferocious honesty and indignation that his book was to remain unpublishable for more than a century after its composition, Stendhal revisits his unhappy childhood in a stuffy provincial town and bares his rebellious heart. His adored mother, who died when he was only seven; a father devoted only to his own social ambitions; the aunt whose daily cruelties passed for care: these are among the indelible portraits in a work that captures the sights, sounds, places, and characters of Stendhal's youth, its pleasures and sorrows, with preternatural clarity and immediacy. Full of dazzling images and burning emotions, The Life of Henry Brulard is a vivid memoir that is also an extraordinary work of the imagination..

"[These volumes] are endlessly absorbing as an excursion into cultural history and national memory."--Arthur Schlesinger, Jr..
