This book has the flavor of a real horror novel. If you are new to Corelli, then you are in for a wild ride!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e• This volume includes a “Detailed Biography” of our author, Marie Corelli.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe novel opens with a bang: wealthy nobleman Fabio Romani of Venice, a kind and naive man, stops to aid a fallen citizen during the cholera epidemic of 1884. He apparently comes down with the disease himself, collapses, and wakes up in a coffin! Due to a fear of infection, he has been hastily buried alive.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFabio manages to escape his entombment, and stumbles to his villa in the dead of night to reassure his wife and daughter that he is, in fact alive. Before he can speak to his wife Nina, however, finds himself in the shadows of the courtyard and overhears a conversation proving that his wife has been unfaithful to him –with his best friend Guido Ferrari! Furthermore, it is abundantly clear that neither Nina nor Guido is sorry that Fabio is gone, and they are in fact openly contemptuous of their departed companion.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHis faith in humanity shattered, Fabio sneaks away into the night. He vows revenge on both Nina and Guido, and immediately sets into motion a plan to carry it out. His night in the grave has left him physically changed, enough to even fool those formerly closest to him; furthermore, by a stroke of fate he comes into a possession of a sum of money larger than that of his ancestral estate. He adopts a new identity, and slowly works his way back into the trust, and home, of those who had betrayed him, leading up to a ghastly finale of vengeance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe novel is told in first person, and is written as a memoir of Fabio who, after the culmination of his plot, has retired to a remote part of South America to live out the rest of his days. The tale has a tone of both confession and accusation; while admitting his own crimes and treachery, Fabio simultaneously condemns humanity in general and women in particular.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLooking for another good book?
