Shorter than most of MacDonalds novels, this spooky tale of the Scottish second sight is a thorough spine-tingling ghost story worthy of the twilight zone. MacDonalds love of mysterious old castles and libraries plays a significant role in the story and is found in many of his books. In <em>The Portent</em>, first person narrator Duncan Campbell is engaged as tutor in a large mansion. There he falls under the spell of somnambulist Lady Alice, who is trapped between the worlds of wakefulness and sleep. About this title, MacDonalds son Greville commented: The story is different from almost any other of his books. It is weird, yet strangely convincing, and has no touch of the didactic. Because of its mystical flavor, <em>The Portent</em> is often linked with MacDonalds earlier <em>Phantastes</em>. Though the books are completely different, <em>The Portent</em> yet contains elements that appeal to readers of MacDonalds fantasy writings, and thus spans the genres of both fantasy and realistic fiction.</p>...4038260The Portent00https://www.gandhi.com.mx/the-portent-9780795351983/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/2593680/42e4284e-cde6-4489-99c2-162a808d5ee4.jpg?v=638384186571430000https://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/2591357/42e4284e-cde6-4489-99c2-162a808d5ee4.jpg?v=638384183392600000OutOfStockMXN0DIEbook20189780795351983_W3siaWQiOiI4NzE1YTM2Yy1lYTFlLTQ2ZDUtODJjMC0wNTc4NzBkMDUyYTkiLCJsaXN0UHJpY2UiOjEwOSwiZGlzY291bnQiOjExLCJzZWxsaW5nUHJpY2UiOjk4LCJpbmNsdWRlc1RheCI6dHJ1ZSwicHJpY2VUeXBlIjoiV2hvbGVzYWxlIiwiY3VycmVuY3kiOiJNWE4iLCJmcm9tIjoiMjAyNC0wNC0xMFQxNjowMDowMFoiLCJyZWdpb24iOiJNWCIsImlzUHJlb3JkZXIiOmZhbHNlfV0=9780795351983_<p><strong>A gothic ghost story of romance, adventure, and the supernatural from the acclaimed 19th-century author of <em>Phantastes</em>.</strong></p><p><em>The Portent</em> was originally written for magazine serialization several years prior to its release in book form in 1864.
