Byron
Byron
The young poet Lord Bairon had everything. His poems enjoyed a frantic success, and by the age of 25 he was the most famous person in England, the first `star` in the world. Women flew to him like moths on fire. Men dreamed of being like him. He led the stormy life of a secular rage, scandalizing an venerable audience. But numerous love affairs could not save Byron from an uncontrollable attraction to a woman whom he had no right to possess: his half -sister. The English higher society could forgive the rebellious poet anything, but not incest. Tired of the endless race for pleasures, saturated with hypocrisy of fashionable London salons and deciding to spend the rest of his life with dignity, Byron joined the Greek fighters for freedom.
