Urbain, the Marquis de Villemer is the younger brother of Duke
d’Aleria, and is eager to clear his family’s debt to ensure his
mother’s happiness. The siblings have drastically different views
on the purpose of money and marriage. A marchioness is eager to
marry off her two sons: Duke d’Aleria and Urbain, the Marquis de
Villemer. The former is the eldest, a charming playboy whose
gambling addiction has saddled the family with debt. Urbain is the
younger, more responsible son, who’s willing to sacrifice his
happiness for his mother’s security. The men interact with
several women, including Caroline, a secretary and companion to
their mother. She is pulled into a strange world that hinges on
marriage arrangements and social capital. The Marquis de Villemer
is a nineteenth century novel that embodies popular elements of
that time. It’s fueled by class disparity, mismatched romance and
financial strain. It also highlights family legacy and the desire
to keep up appearances. With an eye-catching new cover, and
professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of The Marquis de
Villmer is both modern and readable.
