Publisher's Synopsis
W�hrend eines Urlaubs mit seiner Mutter Mathilde auf dem Semmering macht der zw�lfj�hrige Edgar die Bekanntschaft eines jungen Barons. Gl�cklich �ber die gewonnene Freundschaft erkennt Edgar jedoch nicht die eigentliche Absicht des Barons, der tats�chlich nur an seiner Mutter interessiert ist. Das Interesse wird von Mathilde erwidert. Der entt�uschte Edgar, der das brennende Geheimnis zwischen den beiden nicht verstehen kann, steigert sich zusehends in Hass auf den Baron hinein. Eines Abends, als Edgar eigentlich Stubenarrest hat, verfolgt er das Paar und stellt den Baron wutentbrannt zur Rede. We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. The aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature, and our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. The contents of the vast majority of titles in the Classic Library have been scanned from the original works. To ensure a high quality product, each title has been meticulously hand curated by our staff. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with a book that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic work, and that for you it becomes an enriching experience.
