Sinopsis

In "A Man of Mark," Anthony Hope crafts a captivating narrative that intertwines elements of adventure, romance, and social commentary, emblematic of the late 19th-century literary style. The novel follows the journey of its protagonist, an aspiring artist, who navigates the complexities of ambition and moral quandaries within a society marked by class disparities. Hope's prose is both incisive and witty, employing vivid imagery and sharp dialogue that illuminate the characters' inner lives while also critiquing the societal norms of his time, reminiscent of the works of Dickens and Thackeray. Anthony Hope, an English novelist and playwright, is perhaps best known for his seminal work "The Prisoner of Zenda," which established him as a master of adventure fiction. Drawing from his own experiences in a rapidly changing Victorian society, Hope's writing reflects an understanding of the struggles for identity and self-determination. His extensive travels and diverse cultural encounters inform the rich tapestry of characters in "A Man of Mark," showcasing his keen ability to explore the human condition across various social strata. This delightful novel is highly recommended for readers who appreciate tightly woven narratives that blend thrills with incisive social observations. Hope's compelling storytelling and richly developed characters provide a profound reflection on the aspirations and moral dilemmas that define the human experience. "A Man of Mark" invites readers not only to enjoy a riveting tale but also to ponder the deeper meanings of success and integrity in their own lives.

    Jacob Malecki killed fifteen people over a thirteen-year period.  At the height of the murders, Dr. Jo McCready was at university and, as an exercise, compiled a profile of Malecki, which broke open the case and helped send him down for life. Twenty-five years later a copycat killer is re-creating his murders. What's more, Malecki offers to help the police catch him from his own prison cell. Malecki claims he's repenting for his crimes. Jo doubts it, but as the body count rises, she can't ignore the killer's offer. What does he really want - and can Jo find out before anyone else dies?

    After the first two episodes of the series ”The Printer”, here we are at the end, the last episode of the saga dedicated to the Renaissance Jesi. We left Andrea almost at the point of death, helped by his beloved, hidden in disguise. The plot has moved to Urbino, but certainly our two heroes, Andrea Franciolini and Lucia Baldeschi, will have to return to Jesi to fulfill their dream of love. The wedding will have to be a festive and opulent event, and will have to be celebrated by the Bishop of the City of Jesi, Monsignor Piersimone Ghislieri. But are we sure that obscure plots, of destiny and of men, will not be able to hinder for the umpteenth time the union between Andrea and Lucia? The two lovers have found each other again, and for nothing in the world would they want to leave each other again. Andrea finally wants to be a father to his little girl, Laura and, why not, to Lucia`s adopted daughter, Anna. The girls are fantastic, they are growing up healthy and lively in the country residence of the Counts Baldeschi, and Andrea is enjoying their closeness. But winds of war will once again lead the Captain of Arms of the Royal City of Jesi to the battlefields. And soon to leave the peace and quiet regained. The Lansquenets press the gates of northern Italy and the Duke of Oak, in a strange alliance with Giovanni De` Medici, better known as Giovanni Dalle Bande Nere, will do his best to prevent German soldiers from reaching Florence and even Rome. Avoiding the sacking of the Eternal City in 1527 will not be an easy task, neither for the Duke Della Rovere, nor for Giovanni dalle Bande Nere, nor for Captain Franciolino de` Franciolini. Let us once again follow the events of the characters of the sixteenth century through the discoveries of ancient documents and archaeological finds of the young couple of researchers of our time.
