Omschrijving

Deacon Brodie: Or Behind The Mask is a novel written by Dick Donovan and first published in 1901. The story is set in Edinburgh, Scotland, in the late 18th century and is based on the true story of William Brodie, a respected cabinet maker and city councillor who led a double life as a notorious burglar and gambler.The novel follows the life of Brodie, known as Deacon Brodie, as he navigates his way through his respectable public life and his secret criminal activities. Brodie is a complex character, charming and charismatic, but also ruthless and calculating. He is a master of disguise and deception, able to fool his friends and family into believing he is a respectable citizen, while leading a life of crime and debauchery.The novel explores themes of morality, deception, and the corrupting influence of power. It also provides a fascinating glimpse into the social and political life of 18th century Edinburgh, with its rigid class system and strict moral codes.Deacon Brodie: Or Behind The Mask is a gripping and suspenseful novel that will keep readers on the edge of their seats. It is a timeless classic that continues to captivate readers more than a century after its initial publication.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
