Robert Smythe Hichens Bücher

Die Geschichte erkundet die Idee, dass die Seelen der Verstorbenen zurückkehren können, um diejenigen zu verfolgen, die für ihren Tod verantwortlich sind. Ein Mann, der nicht an solche Phänomene glaubt, findet sich in einer verwirrenden Situation wieder, als er sich in die zurückgekehrte Seele verliebt. Parallel dazu wird die Figur des Rev. Marcus Harding eingeführt, der in London als Geistlicher tätig ist und sich mit psychischer Forschung beschäftigt. Die Erzählung verbindet Elemente von Horror, Romantik und spiritueller Erkundung, während sie die Herausforderungen und Konflikte der Charaktere beleuchtet.

Der arrogante Wissenschaftler Prof. Guildea lehnt Sentimentalität und menschliche Nähe ab, bis er eines Nachts von einem unsichtbaren Wesen heimgesucht wird, das ihn liebt. Verzweifelt versucht er, mit dieser unerwünschten Zuneigung umzugehen, während nur sein Graupapagei das Wesen erkennen kann. Eine außergewöhnlich gruselige Geschichte.

Hichens was a versatile English writer known for his journalism, novels, and playwriting. His education spanned prestigious institutions, and he gained acclaim for his satirical work on Oscar Wilde, "The Green Carnation." Notable novels adapted into films include "The Garden of Allah" and "The Paradine Case." His literary repertoire also features a range of titles such as "Flames," "The Prophet of Berkeley Square," and "The Spell of Egypt," showcasing his diverse storytelling and thematic exploration throughout his career.

The narrative centers on Bella Donna, a young Englishwoman whose impulsive nature leads her to marry an Egyptologist and travel to Egypt. There, she becomes enamored with the charming Mahmoud Baroudi and concocts a scheme to eliminate her husband for a chance at love. The story intricately explores Bella Donna's psychological struggles amid themes of love, betrayal, and the cultural tensions between Western and Eastern societies. This suspenseful tale promises to engage readers as they follow Bella Donna's perilous journey.

Robert S. Hichens (1864-1950), amico di Oscar Wilde (di cui fece la parodia in un romanzo) e di Somerset Maugham, è l'autore, oggi dimenticato, di tre romanzi (Il giardino di Allah, Il caso Paradine e Bella donna) di gran voga ai loro tempi, e di uno splendido racconto nero, Come scoprì l'amore il professor Guildea, pubblicato da questa casa editrice nella collana «Il divano». Da Il giardino di Allah fu tratto un film. E Hitchcock trasformò, nel 1948, Il caso Paradine in uno dei più celebri film giudiziari (con Gregory Peck e Alida Valli).
