The White DevilChatto & Windus, 1958 - Всего страниц: 224 The play centers on the love affair between the duke of Brachiano and Vittoria Corombona, two of the play's many unscrupulous characters. Despite her role as a vicious heroine, Vittoria elicits sympathy in her attempt to endure a deeply corrupt society.
