Produktbeschreibung

What if the key to your freedom lay hidden behind a locked door only nightmares dare open?

This fresh, fast-moving translation distills Ann Radcliffe's landmark 1794 masterpiece into elegant modern prose without sacrificing its Gothic grandeur. Travel with Emily through rose-scented valleys, bandit-infested mountains, and candle-lit corridors as she battles sinister schemes and her own imagination.

What You'll Discover Inside:

• A Blueprint of Gothic Fiction - Secret corridors, storm-lashed towers, veiled portraits, and the archetypal damsel who refuses to be helpless.
• Epic Romance & Intrigue - Emily's forbidden love for the valiant Valancourt versus the iron will of her tyrannical uncle, Montoni.
• Psychological Suspense - Is the castle truly haunted, or are fear and greed the deadliest phantoms of all?
• Historical & Travel Vistas - Lyrical descriptions of the Pyrenees, Languedoc, and Italy that captivated early Romantic readers.
• Reader's Companion - Explanatory notes, character guide, and discussion prompts perfect for classes or book clubs.

Unlock the mysteries, feel the chill, and rediscover the novel that inspired generations of Gothic storytellers-from Jane Eyre to Rebecca and beyond.
