Produktbeschreibung
The Third Person centers on two elderly female cousins who inherit an ancient, isolated country house in the English countryside. The house is quickly revealed to be haunted by the persistent, poignant presence of a ghost who died tragically and unjustly long ago. This "third person" acts as a quiet but palpable participant in their lives, a spectral witness to their attempts to unravel the dark history and legal complexities tied to the house. The narrative delicately balances the cousins' psychological stress with the evidence of the supernatural, questioning whether the haunting is real or merely the manifestation of the house's profound emotional legacy. From the mind of Henry James, the celebrated American-British novelist and master of psychological complexity, comes a subtle, chilling tale that explores the delicate line between inherited trauma and spectral reality. This story is a quintessential example of Henry James's genius for creating psychological ghost stories and using the uncanny to expose deeper truths about inheritance, guilt, and human connection. It is essential reading for fans of classic supernatural fiction and refined, intellectual dread.
