Within its pages, the reader encounters a myriad of literary styles ranging from the subtly sinister to overt hauntings, linked by the universal allure of the ghost story. The collection meticulously encapsulates the transformative period in literature when gothic elements were increasingly woven into narrative fabric, bringing the supernatural intriguingly close to the philosophical questions of existence and the afterlife. The diverse tales, each marked by the unique imprint of its narrator, collectively pioneer and redefine the spectral genres contours. The contributing authors, Johann August Apel, Friedrich August Schulze, and Johann Karl August Musus, were seminal figures in the early Romantic and gothic movements sweeping through 19th-century Germany. Their backgrounds in theology, philosophy, and the classics deeply inform the thematic richness and complexity of the tales, effectively channeling contemporary societal and existential anxieties through the lens of the supernatural. Together, these authors not only embroidered the intricate tapestry of German ghost literature but also contributed to a broader understanding of the cultural and psychological underpinnings of the genre. Fantasmagoriana - Collected Tales of Ghosts offers readers an invaluable glimpse into the romantic-gothic interplay of fear and fascination with the ethereal. This anthology is a compelling invitation for enthusiasts and scholars alike to explore the depths of gothic literature through a multifaceted array of phantasms and spectres. Beyond mere thrills, this collection serves as a profound medium for examining the shadows that loom in the collective human psyche, making it an essential addition to both academic and personal libraries.</p>...4088695Fantasmagoriana - Collected Tales of Ghosts3535https://www.gandhi.com.mx/fantasmagoriana---collected-tales-of-ghosts-4064066382063/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/3118560/92d0cea5-833e-41be-9ef4-c773deca242c.jpg?v=638384904922970000https://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/3115803/92d0cea5-833e-41be-9ef4-c773deca242c.jpg?v=638384901334870000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20214064066382063_W3siaWQiOiJkNzc5MzdkNy0xMDE0LTQ3YTktOTRlNC1jMTE4NTYzNjhkNzMiLCJsaXN0UHJpY2UiOjM1LCJkaXNjb3VudCI6MCwic2VsbGluZ1ByaWNlIjozNSwiaW5jbHVkZXNUYXgiOnRydWUsInByaWNlVHlwZSI6Ildob2xlc2FsZSIsImN1cnJlbmN5IjoiTVhOIiwiZnJvbSI6IjIwMjQtMDUtMDNUMTM6MDA6MDBaIiwicmVnaW9uIjoiTVgiLCJpc1ByZW9yZGVyIjpmYWxzZX1d4064066382063_<p>Fantasmagoriana Collected Tales of the Dead were the very ghost stories that inspired and gave rise to classics like Frankenstein and The Vampyre. Originally translated from German, these tales have retained their charm, chilling effect, horror and suspense until today. Contents: The Family Portraits The Fated Hour The Deaths Head The Death-Bride The Storm The Spectre-Barber or, Dumb Love Excerpt: It is generally believed that at this time of day no one puts any faith in ghosts and apparitions. Yet, on reflection, this opinion does not appear to me quite correct: for, without alluding to workmen in mines, and the inhabitants of mountainous countries,the former of whom believe in spectres and hobgoblins presiding over concealed treasures, and the latter in apparitions and phantoms announcing either agreeable or unfortunate tidings,may we not ask why amongst ourselves there are certain individuals who have a dread of passing through a church-yard after night-fall? Why others experience an involuntary shuddering at entering a church, or any other large uninhabited edifice, in the dark? And, in fine, why persons who are deservedly considered as possessing courage and good sense, dare not visit at night even places where they are certain of meeting with nothing they need dread from living beings? They are ever repeating, that the living are only to be dreaded; and yet fear night, because they believe, by tradition, that it is the time which phantoms choose for appearing to the inhabitants of the earth...</p>(*_*)4064066382063_<p>Fantasmagoriana - Collected Tales of Ghosts is an exquisite anthology that traverses the eerie, gothic landscapes of spectral literature.
