Le Fanus unique narrative style, characterized by atmospheric detail and psychological depth, immerses the reader in a world where the boundaries between reality and the supernatural blur. The book consists of five interrelated stories, most notably Green Tea and The Familiar, showcasing Le Fanus mastery in crafting chilling narratives that probe the darker recesses of the human psyche and question the nature of perception itself. Le Fanu, a prominent figure in Gothic literature, drew inspiration from his Irish heritage and the rich folklore of his surroundings. His background, particularly his experiences with the paranormal and his education in Gothic storytelling, profoundly influenced his literary voice. As a forerunner of modern horror, Le Fanus work has resonated with writers such as H.P. Lovecraft and M.R. James, solidifying his reputation as a key architect of supernatural fiction. Readers with an appreciation for Gothic literature and psychological horror will find "In A Glass Darkly" an enthralling exploration of fear and existential dread. This collection not only offers spine-chilling narratives but also a profound commentary on the complexities of the human experience, making it an essential read for those interested in the eerie and the uncanny.</p>...4329000In A Glass Darkly4545https://www.gandhi.com.mx/in-a-glass-darkly-8596547678267/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/4282391/image.jpg?v=638446598542730000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20238596547678267_W3siaWQiOiI2ZDkwNzRlNy1mMzQ4LTQ2OGYtYjgzNi02MjNmMjYxNzE3ZDUiLCJsaXN0UHJpY2UiOjQ1LCJkaXNjb3VudCI6MCwic2VsbGluZ1ByaWNlIjo0NSwiaW5jbHVkZXNUYXgiOnRydWUsInByaWNlVHlwZSI6Ildob2xlc2FsZSIsImN1cnJlbmN5IjoiTVhOIiwiZnJvbSI6IjIwMjUtMDEtMTVUMDQ6MDA6MDBaIiwicmVnaW9uIjoiTVgiLCJpc1ByZW9yZGVyIjpmYWxzZX1d8596547678267_<p>In a Glass Darkly is a collection of five different tales, presented as selections from the posthumous papers of the occult detective Dr. Martin Hesselius. The title is taken from 1 Corinthians 13:12, a deliberate misquotation of the passage which describes humanity as perceiving the world "through a glass darkly". "Green Tea" - An English clergyman named Jennings confides to Hesselius that he is being followed by a demon in the form of an ethereal monkey, invisible to everyone else, which is trying to invade his mind and destroy his life. Hesselius writes letters to a Dutch colleague about the victims condition, which gets steadily worse with time as the creature steps up its methods, all of which are purely psychological. "The Familiar"- A sea captain, living in Dublin, is stalked by "The Watcher", a strange dwarf who resembles a person from his past. "Mr. Justice Harbottle" - A cruel judge in the Court of Common Pleas, Elijah Harbottle, finds himself under attack by vengeful spirits, and in a disturbing dream he is condemned to death by a monstrous doppelgnger. The story is set between 1746 and 1748 "The Room in the Dragon Volan" - notable mystery story, in 26 chapters, which includes the theme of premature burial. "Carmilla"- A tale of a lesbian vampire, set in Styria, Austria. This story was to greatly influence Bram Stoker in writing Dracula. Joseph Thomas Sheridan Le Fanu (1814 1873) was an Irish writer of Gothic tales and mystery novels. He was a leading ghost-story writer of the nineteenth century and was central to the development of the genre in the Victorian era. M. R. James described Le Fanu as "absolutely in the first rank as a writer of ghost stories".</p>...8596547678267_Good Presslibro_electonico_8596547678267_8596547678267Joseph SheridanInglésMéxicohttps://getbook.kobo.com/koboid-prod-public/bookwire-epub-18f7117d-c8d0-4154-85a4-5ca9899d5d44.epub2023-11-26T00:00:00+00:00Good Press
