Publisher's Synopsis

The Herb Of Love is a novel written by Georgios Drosines and published in 1892. The story revolves around the character of Eleni, a young woman who lives in a small village in Greece. Eleni is in love with a man named Nikos, but their relationship is forbidden by her father, who has promised her hand in marriage to someone else. In her despair, Eleni seeks the help of a wise woman who gives her a herb that is said to make people fall in love. Eleni uses the herb on Nikos, but the consequences of her actions lead to a series of events that challenge her beliefs and values. The novel explores themes of love, sacrifice, and the consequences of one's actions. It is a classic work of Greek literature that has been praised for its vivid descriptions of rural life in Greece and its poignant portrayal of the human condition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
