Ishmael

"Ishmael" is a gripping tale of ambition, love, and moral awakening set against the backdrop of 19th-century France. The story follows Ishmael, a man born into hardship, who rises through determination and wit to achieve wealth and power. But as he climbs the social ladder, he is haunted by the sacrifices and betrayals that paved his path. Braddon's vivid portrayal of Parisian life—ranging from opulent salons to grimy backstreets—paints a rich, atmospheric picture of a man torn between worldly success and inner redemption. A compelling blend of romance, mystery, and social critique.
"Ishmael"is an unchanged, high-quality reprint of the original edition of 1885.
