Présentation de l'éditeur
My Dear Tree, The pleasant recollection of our long friendship has, to a certain extent, prompted me to dedicate this translation to you. My main motive, however, was to thank you for having been the practical pioneer of a principle I advocated when I had the honour to be a dramatic critic. In the plays you have hitherto produced you have virtually left Frenchmen and Germans and other foreigners in their habit as they live, instead of foolishly transforming them into Englibhmen in deference to a mistaken dramatic exclusivism which thinks humanity out of England not worth studying, or ilhistrating, and which, moreover, is subversive of all dramatic art. For having set this prejudice at naught, the public and the dramatic student are already greatly indebted to you ;and it is to show what may really be done in the way of sterling adaptation by the skilful playwright, backed up by the intellectual and artistic actormanager, that I translated the original story on which AV illage Priest is founded, and that I am delighted to associate your name with my work. Believe me, my dear Tree, Yours very cordially, ALBERT D. VANDAM. To H. Beerbohm-T ree, Esq.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book, written in the late 19th Century, uniquely focuses on the life of Jean Torquenie, a man wrongly convicted and imprisoned for the murder of Viscount de Mortree. Torquenie spends the next twenty years attempting to clear his name, facing rejection at every turn, even from a barrister who refuses to believe his innocence and sends him away. Heartbroken, he stumbles upon a young girl, Jeanne, who has been abandoned by her community due to being the daughter of a convict. Despite the obstacles, Torquenie continues to hope. He fights against the weight of authority and public opinion, desperately searching for a way to prove his innocence and reclaim his life. From the highest courts to the darkest alleyways, Torquenie's journey is one of relentless determination and the exploration of the devastating human costs of wrongful conviction. This book is not only a gripping tale of injustice but also a powerful reminder of the fragility of the justice system and the profound resilience of the human spirit. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
