Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The Honour of Savelli: A Romance" by S. Levett Yeats is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. Set during a tumultuous period of Italian history, the story revolves around Ugo di Savelli, a nobleman embroiled in intrigue, betrayal, and romance. As Savelli navigates the perilous landscape of rivalries and personal conflicts, he faces accusations that could ruin his honor and life. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to a tense supper gathering where Ugo di Savelli is suddenly branded a thief by D'Entrangues, a man whose friendship he had previously enjoyed. This shocking accusation leads to an uproar in the room, with Savelli fighting to maintain his dignity amidst a flurry of voices and raised swords. The narrative grips the reader with intense emotions as Savelli grapples with the reality of his situation, eventually leading to his arrest and the revelation of deeper treacheries at play. The opening sets the stage for a tale filled with honor, vengeance, and the complexity of personal relationships in a world rife with danger and deception.
