The Sphinx by Octave Feuillet, Fiction, Classics, Literary, Short Stories

Octave Feuillet was a French novelist and dramatist. He began his writing career as a collaborator of Dumas the elder, but then branched out into his own work. He was popular in the Second Empire, and the Empress Eugenie once took a part in one of his plays.As one critic of the time commented on Feuillet,& 34;He has to do with things as he finds them, and if we are to believe him, what he finds is a lack of culture in women, and lack of sympathy in men, and a lack of principle in both.& 34;
