General Fiction高龙巴（插图珍藏版）
(france) Written By Mérimée Illustrated By Pierre Rousseau
"Colomba (Illustrated Collector's Edition)" is a classic novella by the French realist master Mérimée. The novel tells a story of female revenge that took place in Corsica, France in the 1820s. The girl Colomba encouraged her brother to avenge her father because her father was murdered by Barricini and his son, a powerful village chief who was a lawyer. However, his elder brother has a more legalistic perspective due to his civilized education and influence. He believes that "family revenge" is a remnant of barbaric customs. In addition, his father has been dead for two years and there is insufficient evidence of murder, so he is unwilling to engage in it rashly. At the same time, he was also worried that his love with Miss Lydia would be affected. However, Gao Longba's careful planning and clever arrangements still aroused his brother's desire for revenge. The brother and sister finally killed their enemy and avenged their father... This book uses the classic translation of Fu Lei, a famous Chinese translator. The exquisite illustrations included in the book are carefully drawn by the famous French illustrator Pierre Rousseau.
