Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Sweeney Todd The Barber Of Fleet Street is a dark and twisted tale of a barber named Sweeney Todd who becomes a serial killer in Victorian London. The book is written anonymously and explores the themes of revenge, madness, and the corrupting influence of power. Sweeney Todd is a skilled barber who has a thriving business in Fleet Street, but after he is wrongfully imprisoned for years, he becomes consumed with a desire for revenge against the judge who sent him away. He teams up with an accomplice, Mrs. Lovett, who runs a pie shop below his barber shop, and together they hatch a plan to murder Todd's customers and turn their bodies into meat pies. As the body count rises, Todd descends further into madness and becomes increasingly ruthless in his pursuit of revenge. The book is a chilling and gruesome tale that delves into the darker side of human nature and the consequences of unchecked ambition.Sweeney Todd had no desire to enter into anything like a controversy with people, so he turned again and entered his own shop, in a distant corner of which he sat down, and folding his great gaunt-looking arms over his chest, he rivetted his eyes on the door, and if we may judge from the expression of his countenance his thoughts were not of a pleasant anticipatory character, for now and then he gave a grin as may well have sat on the features of a demon.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
