When Dori Dougan, after suffering a tragedy, was persuaded by a good friend to take a job in the West Indies she knew at the very least that it would be an adventure for her and for her young son. She was expecting to be exposed to a new culture and to be working hard on a new and exciting project. But what she wasn't expecting was that she would inadvertently be involved in high stakes illegal gambling, or most certainly that she would fall hopelessly in love with a strange and powerful man who could, on a whim, destroy her and the people she cares for most.

Nineteenth Century Collections Online: European Literature, 1790-1840: The Corvey Collection includes the full-text of more than 9,500 English, French and German titles. The collection is sourced from the remarkable library of Victor Amadeus, whose Castle Corvey collection was one of the most spectacular discoveries of the late 1970s. The Corvey Collection comprises one of the most important collections of Romantic era writing in existence anywhere -- including fiction, short prose, dramatic works, poetry, and more -- with a focus on especially difficult-to-find works by lesser-known, historically neglected writers.The Corvey library was built during the last half of the 19th century by Victor and his wife Elise, both bibliophiles with varied interests. The collection thus contains everything from novels and short stories to belles lettres and more populist works, and includes many exceedingly rare works not available in any other collection from the period. These invaluable, sometimes previously unknown works are of particular interest to scholars and researchers.European Literature, 1790-1840: The Corvey Collection includes: * Novels and Gothic Novels * Short Stories * Belles-Lettres * Short Prose Forms * Dramatic Works * Poetry * Anthologies * And moreSelected with the guidance of an international team of expert advisors, these primary sources are invaluable for a wide range of academic disciplines and areas of study, providing never before possible research opportunities for one of the most studied historical periods.Additional MetadataPrimary Id: B0983202 PSM Id: NCCOF0063-C00000-B0983202 DVI Collection Id: NCCOC0062 Bibliographic Id: NCCO021379 Reel: 8474 MCODE: 4UVC Original Publisher: Printed by and for C. and R.
