Imagine that your family and friends believe you died of cholera. Of being buried alive and waking up in your coffin. Now, imagine the desperate attempt to trace the light from the dark depths of your grave only to discover something even more terrible ... Well, this is just the beginning of the Victorian horror masterpiece of Marie Corelli, "Vendetta". Realizing what happened, and discovered a terrible truth, Count Fabio Romani decides to put in his revenge. Unrecognizable, aged and disfigured by cholera, the count assumes a new identity and finds a way to reintegrate into society of Naples, which is in line disguise the relationship with his wife who thought he was dead. All this to put into practice his perverse, diabolical plan nemesis. "Vendetta" is a work that celebrates the madness, the horror and decadence at the highest stage of human degeneration, and that made the Queen Marie Corelli in the late Gothic-Victorian age.
