Ligeia und andere Novellen; Sieben Gedichte

In this haunting tale, a scholarly narrator is drawn into the spell of the mysterious Lady Ligeia, whose striking eyes and uncanny will linger long after her physical presence fades. His recollections swirl between memory and obsession, as he tries to decipher the secret depths behind her serene beauty and the uncanny power that seems to govern both love and destiny. The story unfolds in a richly described, almost timeless riverside town, where every whispered word and lingering glance feels charged with an otherworldly intensity.

The volume gathers three additional novellas, each echoing the same blend of psychological intrigue and gothic atmosphere, from a tale of a cursed inheritance to a chilling encounter with a restless spirit. Complementing the prose are seven lyrical poems, rendered in a delicate translation that captures the original’s melancholy and lyrical nuance. Illustrated throughout with fourteen fine plates, the collection offers listeners a vivid, immersive experience that lingers long after the final line.
