À propos de ce livre

Step into the dazzling yet deceptive world of Virginia Woolf's The Duchess and the Jeweller—a powerful short story that exposes the corruption and moral emptiness lurking beneath the glitter of high society. In this vivid and ironic tale, Woolf introduces Oliver Bacon, a self-made jeweller who has risen from humble beginnings to become the wealthiest man in England. When a desperate Duchess arrives at his shop with a tempting offer—ten pearls and a dangerous secret—Bacon is forced to confront the cost of ambition and the illusion of success. With her signature psychological insight and elegant prose, Woolf explores themes of greed, vanity, class, and self-deception, capturing both the allure and emptiness of material wealth. Beneath the story's sparkling surface lies a moral fable about power and the price of human desire. First published in 1938, The Duchess and the Jeweller remains one of Woolf's most accessible and biting works—an exquisite miniature of her genius, where every sentence glitters with wit and irony. 👉 Click Buy Now to experience Virginia Woolf's timeless exploration of ambition, morality, and the illusions of wealth.
