Produktbeschreibung
A journey into hidden worlds, where magic lingers in the shadows and ancient secrets await the curious. When a mysterious letter leads the narrator to discover five ancient jars, each containing a strange and potent substance, an unforgettable adventure begins. With each jar, new senses are awakened revealing a world teeming with invisible beings, uncanny creatures, and secret forces that have long been forgotten by humankind. As he navigates this enchanted realm, guided by talking animals, cryptic messages, and wise old spirits, the narrator uncovers a delicate balance between the seen and unseen, the real and the magical. But this world is not without danger. Dark forces are drawn to the power of the jars, and only by embracing wonder, courage, and kindness can the mystery be fully understood and protected. A rare departure from M. R. James's classic ghost stories, The Five Jars is a whimsical, imaginative tale for readers of all ages. Blending elements of fantasy, folklore, and philosophical reflection, it offers a timeless reminder that magic is never far away for those who are willing to see.
Autorenporträt
Montague Rhodes James (1862 - 1936), who published under the name M. R. James, was an English author, medievalist scholar and provost of King's College, Cambridge (1905-18) and of Eton College (1918-36). Though James's work as a medievalist is still highly regarded, he is best remembered for his ghost stories, which are regarded as among the best in the genre. James redefined the ghost story for the new century by abandoning many of the formal Gothic clichés of his predecessors and using more realistic contemporary settings. However, James's protagonists and plots tend to reflect his own antiquarian interests. Accordingly, he is known as the originator of the "antiquarian ghost story".
