Mlle De Scud�����ri is a novella written by E.T.A. Hoffmann, a German author known for his dark and fantastical tales. The story is set in Paris in the 17th century and follows the titular character, Mademoiselle De Scud�����ri, a wealthy and respected lady who is also known for her skill as a poet. When a string of thefts and murders occur in the city, one of the suspects is a young artist named Olivier, whom De Scud�����ri has taken under her wing. Despite her affection for him, De Scud�����ri begins to suspect that Olivier may be involved in the crimes. As she investigates further, she discovers a web of deceit and betrayal that threatens to destroy her reputation and her life. Mlle De Scud�����ri is a thrilling mystery that explores themes of love, trust, and justice. Hoffmann's vivid descriptions of Parisian life and his intricate plotting make for a captivating read, while his exploration of the psychology of his characters adds depth and complexity to the story. The novella is also notable for its portrayal of a strong and independent female protagonist, who uses her intellect and wit to navigate a dangerous and male-dominated world. Overall, Mlle De Scud�����ri is a classic work of German Romanticism that continues to captivate readers with its timeless themes and masterful storytelling.He heaved a hollow sigh, glared at La Martini�����re with a terrible expression, and grasped his dagger. She silently commended her soul to God, but stood firm and looked him straight in the face, pressing herself more firmly against the door through which he would have to pass in order to reach her mistress.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
