Krátký popis
Selected & Introduced by David Stuart Davies. Traumatised by ghost
stories in her youth, Pulitzer Prize winning author Edith Wharton
(1862 -1937) channelled her fear and obsession into creating a
series of spine-tingling tales filled with spirits beyond the grave
and other supernatural phenomena. While claiming not to believe in
ghosts, paradoxically she did confess that she was frightened of
them. Wharton imbues this potent irrational and imaginative fear
into her ghostly fiction to great effect. In this unique collection
of finely wrought tales Wharton demonstrates her mastery of the
ghost story genre. Amongst the many supernatural treats within
these pages you will encounter a married farmer bewitched by a dead
girl; a ghostly bell which saves a woman's reputation; the weird
spectral eyes which terrorise the midnight hours of an elderly
aesthete; the haunted man who receives letters from his dead wife;
and the frightening power of a doppelganger which foreshadows a
terrible tragedy. Compelling, rich and strange, the ghost stories
of Edith Wharton, like vintage wine, have matured and grown more
potent with the passing years.
