It was evening. Multitudes of light clouds, partially illumined by the moonbeams, overspread the horizon, and through them floated the full moon in tranquil majesty, while her splendour was reflected by every wave of the Adriatic Sea. All was hushed around; gently was the water rippled by the night wind; gently did the night wind sigh through the Colonnades of Venice. It was midnight; and still sat a stranger, solitary and sad, on the border of the great canal. Now with a glance he measured the battlements and proud towers of the city; and now he fixed his melancholy eyes upon the waters with a vacant stare. At length he spoke - Johann Heinrich Daniel Zschokke (March 22, 1771 - June 27, 1848) was a German author and reformer. Born in Magdeburg, Prussia, he was educated at the monasterial (Kloster) school and at the Altstädter Gymnasium there. He spent some time as playwright with a company of strolling actors, but afterwards studied philosophy, theology and history at the University of Frankfurt (Oder), where in 1792 he established himself as a Privatdozent. Zschokke created a sensation by the extravagant novel, Abällino, der grosse Bandit (1793; subsequently also dramatized), modelled on Schiller's Die Räuber, and the melodramatic tragedy Julius von Sassen (1796).
The Bravo Of Venice A Romance Heinrich Zschokke 9781450514064 Books
A desperate and delicious romance from beginning to end! The hero is heroic and the villain duly wicked, the lady is fine and dainty and all the cast is thrown into a marvelous turmoil only to be confoundingly set to rights in the end. The more I read these old romance novels the more annoyed I am that I keep seeing horrid movies based on lousy books. Why not make a movie out of this little gem? Or the Monk? Are they not properly horrible and exciting?A joy to read, especially if you're of a more romantic sensibility.

The Bravo Of Venice A Romance Heinrich Zschokke 9781450514064 Books Reviews
The writing was just too foreign for me. Or maybe it was too deep. Or maybe it was just written about someone with murder in his heart but with a mother who taught him better and he was determined not to do what his mother taught him. I probably just cannot understand why anyone would want to choose wrong over right and live with those consequences. I don't know how he chose because I could not finish the book.
Very romantic
