Novel by george du maurier6/6/2023 ![]() ![]() Cheerful as the bohemian girl was, she could not carry a tune to save her life, and it’s the desire to help her sing that drives musician Svengali to train her. Trilby is the story of a half-Irish girl working in Paris who happens to have the eyes of every man who lays them on her. Published as a book in September 1985, the novel went on to sell over 200,000 copies in the United States itself. Harper’s Monthly began publishing George Du Maurier’s Trilbyin January 1894, serializing it through August of that same year. What makes this statement more surprising-prior to even noting what book-is the fact the book left an indelible mark on American and European culture. Chances are that unless you’re a fan of lesser-known classics or a devoted student to English-language literary history, you’ve likely not heard of one of the most sensational, popular books of the late 1800s. ![]()
