Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Tigre and Isola" by Will H. Thompson is a tragic Western novel written in the early 20th century. Set against the arid backdrop of Arizona, the story centers around the intense and tumultuous relationship between Lady Isola, the daughter of a respected rancher, and Tigre Palladis, a notorious outlaw. The narrative explores themes of love, desperation, and the consequences of lawlessness within a vividly depicted landscape. The plot unfolds during a fierce rainstorm, coinciding with the vigil for the deceased Nuñez Pico, Isola's father. Tigre, consumed by his obsessive love for Isola, kidnaps her, leading to a desperate pursuit by Pico and a group of ranchers. Their chase ventures through treacherous terrain, culminating in a tragic confrontation. The narrative reveals a complex interplay of longing and violence, ultimately ending in the heartbreaking death of both Tigre and Isola. The book captures the wild spirit of the Southwest while exploring deep emotional currents and moral dilemmas faced by its characters.
