Book Description

Excerpt from Wormwood, Vol. 1 of 3: A Drama of Paris The unhappy hero of the following drame is presented to English readers, not as an example of what is exceptionally tragic and uncommon, but simply as a very ordinary type of a large and ever-increasing class. Men such as 'Gaston Beauvais' are to be met with every day in Paris, - and not only in Paris, but in every part of the Continent where the Curse, which forms the subject of this story, has any sort of sway.
