Project Gutenberg 2004-10-30 Public domain in the USA. 139 Claretie, Jules 1840 1913 Claretie, Arsène-Arnaud Claretie, Arsène-Armand Claretie, Arsene-Arnaud Claretie, Jules Arsène Arnaud Prince Zilah — Complete Produced by David Widger "Prince Zilah — Complete" by Jules Claretie is a romantic novel set during the late 19th century, which explores themes of love, heritage, and identity in a richly depicted historical backdrop. The story centers around Prince Andras Zilah, a Hungarian nobleman and former freedom fighter who is preparing for his marriage to the beautiful Marsa Laszlo, the daughter of a Tzigana (Gypsy) mother. As Zilah navigates the realms of Parisian society, he also grapples with his deep-rooted sense of patriotism, his ancestors' legacy, and the unconventionality of marrying someone of Marsa's background. The opening of the book introduces a festive scene as Prince Andras Zilah hosts a betrothal celebration on a boat along the Seine River, surrounded by a diverse group of friends and acquaintances drawn from various corners of society. The atmosphere is lively, characterized by music, laughter, and the vibrant interactions of the guests, each adding to the tapestry of Parisian life. Amidst the joyful gatherings, the narrative hints at Zilah’s internal struggles — his past as a soldier for Hungarian independence and the profound connection he feels toward Marsa, whose own lineage comes with a complex history marked by loss and cultural identity. This initial setup lays the foundation for an exploration of love that transcends societal barriers, personal sacrifices, and the quest for happiness amidst turbulent historical legacies.
