Mlle De Scud�����ri is a novella written by German author E. T. A. Hoffmann. The story is set in 17th century Paris and follows the wealthy and respected Mlle De Scud�����ri, a talented poet and patron of the arts. When a series of murders occur in the city, Mlle De Scud�����ri becomes involved in the investigation and finds herself drawn to the chief suspect, a young artist named Olivier. As she delves deeper into the case, Mlle De Scud�����ri must navigate the complex web of relationships and motives in order to uncover the truth behind the murders and clear Olivier's name. Along the way, she confronts her own fears and vulnerabilities, and ultimately learns the true nature of love and justice. The novella is known for its intricate plot, vivid descriptions of 17th century Parisian life, and Hoffmann's signature blend of romance, mystery, and the supernatural.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.
