The British ambassador in Naples William Hamilton, a passionate collector and a fan of beauty, receives the main treasure of his life – the former lover of the nephew, the beautiful Emma. Having raised the CE from the bottom of society to the Higher Light, he, like Pygmalion, turns his vulgar Galatea into a real work of art. But a hero appears, unbending and mysterious, – the famous Admiral Nelson … the famous love triangle. The society of the eighteenth century without embellishment, the luxury and dirt of the aristocracy, the eruption of the revolution and the riot of passion are the most mixed episode of European history in the world famous novel by Susan Umbable “The Mistress of the Volcano”.
