A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

In the market place of Beni Mora rumour was busy with the name of the A merican, Horace Pierpont, who had already been staying for six weeks at the Hotel Ex celsior. Mr. Pietpont was unmarried, enormously rich, and neither young nor old. He looked a man of about forty, was lean, strong, tall, and very striking in appearance. Some people thought him remarkably handsome; others considered him almost ugly. But there was no one who overlooked him, who forgot to see him when he was present His face was long, clean-shaven, with powerful features. The nose was hooked and arW trary, the chin prominent and determined, the mouth very mobile and well-shaped, neither large nor small. The eyes were narrow, steady and fearless, in colour grey; often they seemed to be full of a delicate and almost lazy irony under the thin sweep of mouse-coloured brows. Pierpont shands and feet were large and strong. He was a bony man with a great frame. He looked like a careless aristocrat, who had seen the world and men, who had sat at many feasts and known many experiences, and who was gifted with a keen, though never boisterous, sense of humour, and with an unfailing self-possession.
