Book Overview

""The Countess Ida: A Tale of Berlin"" is a novel written by Theodore S. Fay. The story revolves around the life of Countess Ida von L������wenstein, a beautiful and wealthy woman living in Berlin during the mid-19th century. The Countess is known for her beauty, charm, and wit, and she is admired by many men. However, she is also a woman of strong character and intelligence, and she is not content with simply being a socialite. As the story progresses, the Countess becomes embroiled in a number of intrigues and scandals, including a love affair with a young artist and a plot to overthrow the government. Throughout it all, she remains true to herself and her ideals, even as she faces opposition and betrayal from those closest to her.

It is a story of love, ambition, and betrayal, and it offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of the German aristocracy during this time period.""His message "" said Digby, opening his eyes; for, so rapid had been the events of the day; so sudden the discovery of a person at the feet of his daughter, whom he knew he could not marry; so great his indignation, and so obtuse his intellect, that he had not, until this moment, distinctly conceived what the whole was to lead to.
