ISBN: 9798258622860 - the queen of the unknown (5 resultados)

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. A moonlit river. A woman in white, playing the harp from a drifting boat. A hidden cave, a whispered legend, and a queen who seems to belong to no ordinary world.In The Queen of the Unknown, Emilia Freitas blends Gothic mystery, romantic obsession, social critique, and visionary fantasy into a singular novel of secret identities and hidden power. When the young lawyer Edmundo becomes fascinated by the enigmatic woman known as "the Ill-Fated One," his curiosity draws him into a labyrinth of illusions, coded messages, disguises, and revelations. Beneath the novel's haunting atmosphere lies something even more daring: a female-led utopian order devoted to justice, mercy, and resistance against cruelty.By turns lyrical, uncanny, political, and philosophical, this pioneering Brazilian classic offers readers a rare literary experience-part mystery, part feminist fantasy, part spiritual allegory. This edition presents the complete English translation, inviting modern readers to rediscover one of the most original works of nineteenth-century Brazilian literature. The novel was published in 1899 and is widely regarded as a pioneering Brazilian fantasy/speculative work centered on a women-led utopian society. This item is printed on demand.
