Trilby (Barnes & Noble Digital Library)

by George du Maurier

Overview

Svengali meets the tone-deaf Trilby, a lovely young woman who the men in the novel fall in love with. However, Svengali is able to turn Tribly into a star, la Svengali. But is the talent really there? A tale of heartbreak, the plot of Trilby inspired Gaston Leroux’s 1910 novel Phantom of the Opera.
