Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Zicci: A Tale — Volume 01" by Baron Edward Bulwer Lytton Lytton is a novel written during the 19th century, specifically in the Victorian era. The story explores themes of love, mystery, and the supernatural, centering around the enigmatic character Zicci, who appears to possess powers beyond those of ordinary men. The narrative unfolds against the backdrop of vibrant Naples, where the protagonist, Clarence Glyndon, grapples with his feelings for the beautiful actress Isabel di Pisani while encountering Zicci, a man whose charm and wealth shroud his true nature. The plot begins with Glyndon experiencing a strange and chilling sensation while in the company of friends, leading to his initial intrigue with Zicci—a wealthy, charismatic stranger with an aura of mystery. As Glyndon pursues a romantic connection with Isabel, Zicci warns him of impending danger linked to a powerful Neapolitan prince, who also desires Isabel. The novel intricately weaves Glyndon’s emotional turmoil, torn between his infatuation for Isabel and the looming threat posed by Zicci and his rival. The deeper Glyndon delves into Zicci's world, the more he risks entanglement in a web of seduction, danger, and the supernatural that challenges his understanding of love, fate, and ambition.
