A prototype of the murder mystery and a thoughtful examination of village society, this intriguing novella contains hints of the Gothic and the uncanny - ominous thunderstorms, mysterious disappearances, eerie doppelgangers and grisly discoveries in the depths of the forest - as well as a famously ambiguous climax.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 198mmItem Length: 128mmAuthor: Annette von Droste HulshoffTranslator: Lionel and Doris ThomasContributor: Lionel and Doris Thomas (Translated by)Genre: FictionTopic: Crime Thrillers & MysteryBook Series: Alma Classics 101 PagesRelease Year: 2024 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
