Devereux, Book I.(Volume 01)

By Edward Bulwer Lytton Lytton Bar and Edward Bulwer-Lytton

A dark mirror of power and desire. A city of secrets waiting to be unmasked. Devereux introduces readers to a world of ambition and peril in Victorian England, where dazzling salons, murky alleys, and shifting allegiances collide. This is historical fiction touched by gothic romance, where melodrama sharpens character as much as plot, and every ally may hide a rival's face. The story honours old loyalties while testing the limits of reputation, class, and the price of concealment in a London alive with rumours and intrigue. It's a tale of honour betrayed and identities worn like masks, with a narrative drive that hooks casual readers and rewards those who relish a richer, more complicated classic. This edition matters: a recognised landmark of its era now reimagined for modern readers. Its historical texture-the manners, the street life, the social hierarchies-offers a vivid doorway into London's past, while its enduring questions about power, integrity, and human fallibility remain startlingly relevant. The restoured text (and complete novel) invites fresh discovery and thoughtful re-reading, making Devereux a cultural treasure for new fans and serious collectors alike. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure.
