The Progress of JuliusJulius Levy sacrificed everything to a ruthless ambition. From quick-witted urchin caught up in the Franco-Prussian war, he plunged headlong into the adventure and vice of Algiers. Then to England, where his dreams came true with a swiftness that would have frightened a man less sure of his destiny. As Julius clawed his way to wealth, he cared nothing for Elsa, Rachel, or any of the people whose lives touched his - until Gabriel was born. The dark passions she inspired in her father were to destroy them both. [Cataloguer's note]. |
