Beschreibung

The Libertines V2: A Novel (1798) is an anonymous work of fiction that tells the story of a group of libertines, or individuals who reject traditional moral values and indulge in pleasure-seeking activities, in 18th century England. The novel follows the lives of the main characters, including the wealthy and charismatic Duke of Vidal, the beautiful and manipulative Lady Harriet, and the naive and innocent Rosalind, as they navigate their way through a world of debauchery, intrigue, and scandal.As the story unfolds, the reader is taken on a journey through the seedy underbelly of high society, where the libertines engage in a variety of sinful activities, including gambling, drinking, and sexual promiscuity. However, their hedonistic lifestyle is threatened when a young woman named Rosalind enters their world, and they become embroiled in a dangerous game of love and betrayal.Throughout the novel, the author explores themes of morality, sexuality, and power, as the characters struggle to find meaning and purpose in a world that seems devoid of both.

Autor

The author of The Mabinogion is unknown, as the stories were passed down through Welsh oral tradition before being recorded in medieval manuscripts. They were later preserved in the White Book of Rhydderch and the Red Book of Hergest, two 14th-century texts. Though the scribes remain unnamed, their work safeguarded Wales's rich mythological heritage.These tales draw from ancient Celtic mythology, heroic sagas, and supernatural folklore. They reflect the cultural and political landscape of early Wales, blending history with legend. While the original storytellers are lost to time, their influence endures.In the 19th century, Lady Charlotte Guest translated and popularized The Mabinogion, introducing it to a wider English-speaking audience. Her work helped establish the text as a foundational piece of medieval literature and revived interest in Welsh mythology. Thanks to her efforts and the nameless scribes before her, The Mabinogion continues to captivate readers and scholars alike, preserving the voice of a lost era.
