About This Book

The narrative follows a once-wealthy magnate who turns from dissipated pleasures to sober public engagement while a fervent suitor intensifies schemes to win a young woman guarded by an overly vigilant custodian. Hidden refuge, disguised intruders, false servants and gossip drive a chain of contrivances in which defenders and seducers collide; rural retreats, secret messages and social posturing yield dramatic reversals and comic episodes. The text mixes character-driven scenes and episodic satire to examine obsession, guardianship, honor and the friction between private desire and public reputation.
