Sylvia’s World: Crimes Which The Law Does Not Reach is a book written by Sue Petigru Bowen in 1859. The book is a collection of short stories that explore the darker side of society, specifically crimes that are not covered by the law. The stories are set in the mid-19th century and are based on real-life events that took place in the United States.The book is centered around the character of Sylvia, a young woman who is forced to navigate a world filled with corruption, deceit, and violence. Each story in the book focuses on a different crime that Sylvia encounters, from murder and theft to prostitution and gambling.Through Sylvia’s experiences, Bowen sheds light on the flaws in the legal system and the injustices that occur when the law fails to protect the innocent. She also explores the societal pressures that lead people to commit crimes and the consequences of those actions.Overall, Sylvia’s World is a thought-provoking and engaging read that offers a unique perspective on crime and justice in 19th-century America.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world’s literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
