A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

In a Glass Darkly is a collection of five short stories by Sheridan Le Fanu, first published in 1872, the year before his death. The second and third are revised versions of previously published stories, and the fourth and fifth are long enough to be called novellas. The title is taken from 1 Corinthians 13, a deliberate misquotation of the passage which describes humanity as perceiving the world "through a glass darkly". Includes the following stories: GREEN TEA, THE FAMILIAR, MR JUSTICE HARBOTTLE, THE ROOM IN THE DRAGON VOLANT, CARMILLA.

Biographie de l'auteur :

Joseph Thomas Sheridan Le Fanu was an Irish writer of Gothic mystery tales, who was central to the development of the genre in the Victorian era. Author of The House by the Churchyard (1863) and Uncle Silas (1864), it is Le Fanu s Carmilla that remains his best-known Gothic tale. The story of a female vampire s advances towards a young girl greatly influenced Bram Stoker s Dracula (1897) as well as twentieth century films.
