Woman Triumphant 
La Maja Desnuda

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. It is possible that my imaginary heroes are vaguely reminiscent of beings who actually exist. Subconscious ness is the novelist’s principal instrument, and this sub consciousness frequently mocks us, leading us to mistake for our own creation the things which we have unwit tingly observed in Nature. But despite this, it is unfair, as well as risky, for the reader to assign the names of real persons to the characters of fiction, saying, This is So and-so.
