Book Overview

Othmar V2 (1885) is a novel written by the English author Ouida. The book is a continuation of the story of Othmar, a wealthy and successful young man who is torn between his love for his wife, the beautiful and virtuous Hermione, and his passion for the seductive and manipulative Duchess of Santorin. In this second volume, Othmar's marriage is put to the test as he becomes increasingly entangled with the Duchess and her scheming ways. Meanwhile, Hermione struggles to maintain her dignity and hold onto her husband's love in the face of the Duchess's relentless pursuit. Set against the backdrop of high society in late 19th century Europe, Othmar V2 is a tale of love, betrayal, and the corrupting influence of power and wealth. Ouida's vivid descriptions of the luxurious lifestyles of the aristocracy and their decadent behavior provide a fascinating glimpse into a bygone era.In Three Volumes.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
