Description
Trilby
By George Du Maurier
Narrated by Linda Barrans
Wildly popular in its day, George du Maurier's Trilby is set in Paris of the 1850s. The book is funny, romantic, and full of glowing characters.
It tells how Trilby, a young figure model, befriends three young British painters.
She is adorable: not beautiful at first sight, but with the world's most perfect feet. She shocks them all when she tells them casually that she poses for 'the ensemble'—the altogether.
Too quick to love and trust, she soon loves all three of them—and Little Billee, the youngest and sweetest, returns her affections. It is when he asks her to marry him that the seeds of disaster are sown.
Perhaps the strongest and most complex character in the book is the magnificent pianist Svengali—menacing and comic, witty, sardonic and cowardly. He falls passionately for Trilby—despite her clownishly poor singing—and pursues her....
All music included in this production is in the public domain.
