First one-volume edition and the first illustrated, preceded only by the three-volume edition of 1894. "The charming Trilby, an artist's model,slowly falls under the mesmeric spell of Svengali, a German-Polish musician, who trains her voice and establishes her as a famous singer. His power over her is such that when he dies her voice collapses, she loses her eminence, languishes, and finally dies herself. The novel was immensely popular for many years, and in 1895 was dramatized with Beerbohm as Svengali." (The Oxford Companion to English Literature). Seller Inventory # 20282
