The Wrong Box (Paperback)
impression à la demandeVendeur : Grand Eagle Retail, Bensenville, IL, Etats-Unis
Évaluation du vendeur 5 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. "The Wrong Box" and "The Body-Snatcher" showcase the remarkable versatility of Robert Louis Stevenson, blending dark comedy with chilling suspense. In "The Wrong Box," co-written with Lloyd Osbourne, readers are treated to a chaotic and satirical tale centered on a tontine-a high-stakes financial arrangement where the last survivor wins a fortune. As the two remaining elderly competitors, the Finsbury brothers, navigate a series of misunderstandings involving a misplaced corpse, the narrative descends into a hilarious exploration of greed and absurdity.In stark contrast, "The Body-Snatcher" is a haunting work of Gothic fiction inspired by the grim realities of nineteenth-century medical research. The story follows a young medical student who becomes entangled in the dark trade of grave robbing to supply his anatomy professor with cadavers. As the line between science and crime blurs, the tale reaches a supernatural and terrifying conclusion. Together, these works highlight Stevenson's mastery of tone, ranging from the lighthearted farce of Victorian society to the macabre depths of the human psyche.
