Omschrijving

A Fool There Was is a novel written by Porter Emerson Browne, originally published in 1909. The story follows the life of John Schuyler, a successful lawyer who becomes infatuated with a seductive and manipulative woman known only as ""The Vampire."" Despite warnings from friends and family, Schuyler becomes obsessed with her and ultimately sacrifices everything - his career, his marriage, and even his own health - to be with her. The novel explores themes of addiction, power dynamics in relationships, and the dangers of succumbing to temptation. A Fool There Was is considered a classic of American literature and has been adapted into several films and stage productions.It is of necessity that a story such as this should be episodical, lapsical, disconnected. Its inception lies in two countries, and of different people. And it is, in its beginnings, a story of contrasts. So one may be permitted again to say: At a time when pompous, ponderous, white-whiskered, black-suited old Dr. DeLancey was engaged in bringing to the daughter of Kathryn Blair a posthumous baby brother that, in the mystery of things, turned out after all to be a sister, a stranger chanced to be riding at dusk through the deep shades of the Bois du Nord, in Brittany.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
