'Ethel Lilian Voynich was the girlfriend of Sidney Rosenblum, otherwise known in Britain as ?Sidney Reilly? or ?Reilly, Ace of Spies.' With Rosenblum's last #300 the couple went off to Italy. Here under the Mediterranean sun and under the influence of the Roman Catholic religion, which touched every facet of Italian life and awoke emotionally charged memories of his Catholic upbringing, Sidney bared his soul to his mistress. He was not angry when she later published The Gadfly, much praised by the critics, which was largely inspired by his early life. In Russia, the name of Ethel Lilian Voynich is bracketed with Shakespeare and Dickens as being amongst the greatest writers. She later married a Polish revolutionary who fought for Poland's freedom from Russian rule and died in New York in 1960 at the age of ninety-six.'The strongest novel that the present season has produced.' - Pall Mall Gazette, London?Wonderful and terrible; wonderful in its intellectual effect, terrible for the intensity of feeling effects.' - Boston Courier No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
