The Haunted and the Haunters. E-book. Formato EPUB Edward Bulwer Lytton - Simone Vannini, 2016 -
A friend of mine, who is a man of letters and a philosopher, said to me one day, as if between jest and earnest, "Fancy! since we last met I have discovered a haunted house in the midst of London.""Really haunted,—and by what?—ghosts?""Well, I can't answer that question; all I know is this: six weeks ago my wife and I were in search of a furnished apartment. Passing a quiet street, we saw on the window of one of the houses a bill, 'Apartments, Furnished.' The situation suited us; we entered the house, liked the rooms, engaged them by the week,—and left them the third day. No power on earth could have reconciled my wife to stay longer; and I don't wonder at it."

Una storia singolare. E-book. Formato EPUB Edward Bulwer-Lytton - Landscape Books, 2022 -
Una sofferta love story, che e` anche un lungo viaggio alla ricerca dell’anima, tra un giovane medico dalle idee materialiste e una fanciulla persa in un mondo visionario. Loro antagonista e` un mago-superuomo amorale che cerchera` di servirsi della coppia per raggiungere l’eterna giovinezza.I protagonisti di questa Storia Singolare dai toni allegorici (A Strange Story, 1862) che Bulwer-Lytton riteneva la sua “opera piu` alta e piu` profonda”, s’interrogano sulla realta` dello spirito e sulla consistenza dei fenomeni “soprannaturali” in cui, loro malgrado, sono coinvolti.Alla riflessione filosofico-religiosa si alternano dinamicamente situazioni tipiche del romanzo gotico, della satira sociale e della detective novel, sullo sfondo di una opposizione ideale tra l’ordine e la razionalita` apparente della societa` vittoriana e la loro antitesi: la magia di un Oriente mitico e le energie primitive della wilderness australiana.
