The book was probably well written at the time but does not hold up today like say a Sickens novel. Worth reading just to understand who and what Svengali was about. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Poor Quality Edition *by B***O on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 4, 2022* This book is entertaining and worth reading but try to find a used edition of the Penguin book or another name brand publisher. The book is now in the public domain and this Maple Classics edition is sloppily edited and seems incomplete. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ An enchanting portrait of bohemian Paris *by J***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 4, 2014* the book kicks off with an absolutely enchanting series of chapters about life in the bohemian artistic sections of Paris in the 1850s, as seen through the golden glow of nostalgia from the 1890s, when du Maurier wrote the novel. (He is, incidentally, the grandfather of Daphne du Maurier, who wrote Rebecca.) Little Billy, Taffy and the Laird share a studio so full of ineffable camaraderie as to be irresistibly attractive.And it is not merely the reader who feels this enchanting pull, but the titular Trilby, too: Trilby, the half-Irish, half-upper-class-English French grisette. She's cheerful, charming, statuesquely beautiful in the best 1890s fashion. Du Maurier says that if she had been living in the 1890s, people would have worshipped at her feet - which, incidentally, are the most beautiful feet in the world; du Maurier lavishes whole pages on Trilby's feet - but as she lived in the 1850s, no one was quite sure what to do about her style of beauty.Naturally Little Billy falls madly in love and asks Trilby to marry him thirty-three times; but of course he can't marry a grisette who used to pose in the nude. They are torn apart, he falls into a massive depression, and she falls into the greasy-haired clutches of Svengali the anti-Semitic caricature.Were it not for Svengali, I would have given the book five stars, because it's portrayal of the bohemian life is so charming. But du Maurier's portrayal of Svengali is so insistently anti-Semetic (it's not just that he's an evil Jewish character; every time Svengali is on the page du Maurier has to go on and on about how stereotypically Jewishly Jewish he is) that it really took away from my pleasure in the book. But the first half, before Svengali becomes an important character, is nonetheless a pleasure to read. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pl/products/7185586-trilby-paperback-january-1-2011](https://www.desertcart.pl/products/7185586-trilby-paperback-january-1-2011) --- *Product available on Desertcart Poland* *Store origin: PL* *Last updated: 2026-04-26*
