Produktbeschreibung
A gripping current of suspense runs beneath a familiar Victorian street. Step into the fog-wreathed lanes of London, where ambition roams as freely as the gaslight and secrets keep their own counsel. Alice, Or The Mysteries offers a tight weave of gothic fiction tales and sensation fiction that luminously bridges mystery and occult themes with moral consequences of deceit. Set in Victorian England, the book traverses clandestine societies, whispered rumours, and perilous loyalties, inviting both casual readers and classic-literature collectors to follow a plot that rewards patient attention with turning tides of revelation. Lytton's prose, rich with period texture, fires the imagination while inviting reflection on human fragility and the cost of ambition. Historically significant as a late-19th-century beacon in the canon of Victorian gothic authors, this title stands as a beacon for library collection readers who cherish atmosphere as much as puzzle and suspense. It is more than a suspenseful curiosity; it is a doorway into a world where social façades crack under pressure, where industrial-age London becomes a theatre of character and consequence. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions, this edition is restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure, it invites new readers to discover, or re-discover, a classic piece of mystery and moral reflection.
