Zanoni is a novel by Edward Bulwer-Lytton, first published in 1842. A story of love and occult aspiration, set in the days of the French Revolution in 1789. The main character is Zanoni, a timeless Rosicrucian who has lived since the Chaldean civilisation. He falls in love with a young opera singer, Viola Pisani - but to Zanoni, falling in love means losing his power of immortality.
It is Zanoni's ultimate sacrifice that would give Bulwer-Lytton's friend Charles Dickens an idea on how to end A Tale of Two Cities.
This book has 310 pages in the PDF version, and was originally published in 1842.
