Cyrilla

Jemima von Tautphoeus

4.9/5 (17479 ratings)

Description:Set in Germany in the 1830s, Cyrilla is the melodramatic tale of a girl who has been raised to make a sensible marriage, yet finds herself swept off her feet by a brooding bureaucrat who is driven by jealousy and desire. No end of misery, secrets, and jealous intrigues result from the affair.Based on the real-life 1830 criminal trial of an Assessor Karl von Zahn, detailed in Volume 24 of mid-19th century true crime compendium "Der Neue Pitaval."Review from The Southern Literary Messenger, v.19, no.7 (July 1853), pg. 447:The Baroness Tautphoeus, who we now learn was the author of The Initials, is undoubtedly a writer of considerable power, and in her first story she made a decided hit, in a certain faithful delineation of foreign life and manners which gave the book value of an extrinsic kind. The present novel is a finely-written yet wretchedly-conceived tale of passion and guilt, clandestine marriages and fatal duels, with no moral of any sort that we can gather, and a dismal after-effect, which we can only liken to the sulphureous odour the devil is supposed to leave behind him when he walks out "at the break of day." We certainly cannot commend Cyrilla to our readers, but we are hopeful that the Baroness Tautphoeus will write as well and teach better lessons in domestic morals the next time she ventures upon fiction.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
