Roxana,” written by Daniel Defoe and published by the Limited Editions Club, is a classic 18th-century novel that explores themes of morality, identity, and social ambition. The story follows the life of its titular character, Roxana, a beautiful and resourceful woman who rises from poverty to wealth through a series of relationships and schemes, often involving manipulation and moral compromise. Set against the backdrop of Restoration England and Europe, the novel delves into the consequences of Roxana’s choices, particularly her struggle with guilt and the eventual unraveling of her carefully constructed life.
The Limited Editions Club version is known for its high-quality craftsmanship, featuring exquisite illustrations, fine paper, and elegant typography, making it a prized collectible for bibliophiles and fans of Defoe’s work.
