Omschrijving

The Duke's Price is a historical fiction novel written by Demetra Vaka Brown and published in 1910. The story is set in the early 19th century and follows the life of a young Greek woman named Euphrosyne, who is sold into slavery as a child and eventually becomes the mistress of a wealthy Duke in England.Euphrosyne's journey begins in Greece, where she is taken from her family and sold into slavery. She is eventually bought by a wealthy Englishman named Lord Henry, who takes her back to England with him. Euphrosyne quickly adapts to her new life and becomes a favorite of Lord Henry's friends and family.However, when Lord Henry dies, Euphrosyne is left alone and vulnerable. She is then taken in by the Duke of St. Ives, who becomes her protector and lover. The Duke is a wealthy and powerful man, but he is also married and has children. Euphrosyne struggles with her feelings for the Duke and the morality of their relationship.As Euphrosyne navigates her complicated relationship with the Duke, she also faces challenges from other members of society who view her as nothing more than a slave. She must fight for her rights and her dignity in a world that sees her as inferior.The Duke's Price is a captivating tale of love, power, and societal norms. Brown's vivid descriptions of the characters and settings bring the story to life, and her exploration of themes such as slavery, class, and morality make the novel a thought-provoking read.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
