The Lady of the Camellias

An ever-young novel about great love and terrible tragedy. The plot of the novel served as the basis for the eponymous play, which has subsequently been adapted into film multiple times and has served as the libretto for Giuseppe Verdi's brilliant opera "La Traviata." The novel about the love between a beautiful, mortally ill "queen of the demi-monde" and a young aristocrat – a passionate, tragic, and evidently doomed love – rivals the drama of "La Traviata" and even surpasses its best adaptations.
