Book Description: PONSON DU TERRAIL'S COMPLETE ROCAMBOLE SAGA IN NEW, UNABRIDGED ENGLISH TRANSLATIONS ROCAMBOLE 7 – ROCAMBOLE IN LONDON (Les Misères de Londres) Rocambole continues his adventures in London where he allies himself with the Irish republicans to thwart the plotting of “Miss Ellen”, the beautiful daughter of an English Lord who wants to kill an Irish woman to steal her inheritance. Murders, escapes and executions abound in this fast-paced series. The relationship between Rocambole and Miss Ellen is an ambiguous one: will hate turn to love? Perhaps destiny won’t allow it… This volume includes new unabridged English translations of the original French texts: “Les Misères de Londres - Tome I - La Nourrisseuse d’enfants” “Les Misères de Londres - Tome II - L’Enfant perdu” “Les Misères de Londres - Tome III - La Cage aux oiseaux” “Les Misères de Londres - Tome IV - Les Tribulations de Skoking” Text translation and layout, artwork, introductory notes, author’s biography , synopses and chronology: © 2023 Roland Radaelli and IP Rights Ltd THE COMPLETE SAGA IN NEW UNABRIDGED ENGLISH TRANSLATIONS The Rocambole Saga The Rocambole adventures were first published in instalments in various French feuilletons, as supplements to newspapers. This was an extremely popular format in 19th Century France as well as in other countries. Novels such as Dumas’ “The Count of Montecristo”, Sue’s “The Mysteries of Paris” and Feval’s “Le Bossu” (“The Hunchback”) were first published in instalments and later reprinted as books. From 1857 to 1870, the year before the author’s death, Ponson du Terrail wrote thousands of pages chronicling Rocambole’s adventures, first as a master criminal, then as a defender of justice. The novels also offer an eye-opening account on how society was structured in 19th century France with stark divisions between nobility, rich businessmen and the working classes. Far from being outdated, these novels feel as fresh today as when they were written over 150 years ago. About the Author Pierre Alexis Ponson du Terrail was born in France in 1829. From 1850 he started writing serials for several newspapers and in 20 years will write over 200 novels! In 1857 he created the character of Rocambole, which will go on to achieve great success all over the world. The word “rocambolesque” is still used nowadays in many languages to describe fantastic, incredible adventures and scheming plots. With Germany’s invasion of France in 1870, Ponson du Terrail joins the resistance but a sudden illness strikes him and he dies in January 1871.
