Дом с призраками. Английские готические рассказы

Rate this book
В антологию, предлагаемую вниманию читателей, вошли рассказы и новеллы английских и американских писателей XI-XX вв., посвящённые встречам человека со сверхъестественными явлениями. Мистические и загадочные происшествия, поведанные в этих историях, приоткрывают дверь в потусторонние и инфернальные явления бытия, ставят героев в опасные, рискованные, леденящие кровь ситуации – лицом к лицу с призраками и ожившими мертвецами. За покровом обыденной реальности авторы сборника обнаруживают жутковатый готический мир, опровергающий рациональные философские построения и самоуверенные претензии на всезнание, присущие человеку Нового времени.

4,459 books222 followers
Edward George Earle Lytton Bulwer-Lytton, 1st Baron Lytton PC, was an English novelist, poet, playwright, and politician. Lord Lytton was a florid, popular writer of his day, who coined such phrases as "the great unwashed", "pursuit of the almighty dollar", "the pen is mightier than the sword", and the infamous incipit "It was a dark and stormy night."

He was the youngest son of General William Earle Bulwer of Heydon Hall and Wood Dalling, Norfolk and Elizabeth Barbara Lytton, daughter of Richard Warburton Lytton of Knebworth, Hertfordshire. He had two brothers, William Earle Lytton Bulwer (1799–1877) and Henry, afterwards Lord Dalling and Bulwer.

Lord Lytton's original surname was Bulwer, the names 'Earle' and 'Lytton' were middle names. On 20 February 1844 he assumed the name and arms of Lytton by royal licence and his surname then became 'Bulwer-Lytton'. His widowed mother had done the same in 1811. His brothers were always simply surnamed 'Bulwer'.
