In the Latin Quarter of Paris, Trilby O'Ferrall - graceful,
charming and innocent - is working as an artist's model. Her
ingenuous nature makes her the perfect prey for the cruel magnetism
of the demonic musician Svengali, under whose spell she falls.
Using hypnotic powers Svengali shapes her into a virtuoso singer
and soon she becomes Europe's most captivating soprano. But her
golden voice, and even her life, will become fatally tied to him.
With its thrilling plot and legendary villain, Trilby caused a
sensation when it appeared in 1894, spawning songs, shoes and, most
famously, the Trilby hat. Yet it is also a fascinating portrayal of
its times, holding up a mirror to fin de siècle obsessions with
sexuality, mesmerism and the occult.
