Charles Lomon

Solomon is a masculine given name and surname of Hebrew origin, popularized by the biblical figure Solomon, Israelite monarch and son of David. The name is derived from the Latin Solomōn, borrowed from the Ancient Greek Solomṓn (Σολομών), ultimately from the Hebrew Šĕlōmō (שְׁלֹמֹה). It is derived from the Semitic root Š-L-M (ש-ל-ם), which translates to "whole, complete" which is also the basis of the word Shalom (שָׁלוֹם, lit. 'peace').

    Cover of 'Trilby' by Charles Lomon

    "Trilby" is a novel set in the bohemian art world of Paris in the 1850s, where a young and impressionable English girl, Trilby O'Ferrall, becomes entangled with a group of artists, including the talented but weak-willed Little Billee. Under the sinister influence of the mesmerist Svengali, Trilby's singing talent is unlocked, and she rises to international fame, albeit at the cost of her own free will and health. The story explores themes of love, manipulation, and the power dynamics within relationships, set against a backdrop of art and music, ultimately leading to a tragic conclusion that reveals the limits of control and the resilience of the human spirit.
