Book Overview

The Dove of Peace is a comic opera in three acts, written by the American author Wallace Irwin, and first published in 1912. The story follows the adventures of a young man named Jack, who is sent to Europe by his wealthy uncle to learn about the world and find a wife. Along the way, Jack encounters a cast of colorful characters, including a group of anarchists, a beautiful Russian princess, and a trio of bumbling detectives. As Jack navigates the ups and downs of his European adventure, he learns important lessons about love, loyalty, and the true meaning of peace.
