George Eliot
(4,433 Sterne; 52 Bewertungen)
The Lifted Veil is a novella by George Eliot, first published in 1859. Quite unlike the realistic fiction for which Eliot is best known, The Lifted Veil explores themes of extrasensory perception, the essence of physical life, possible life after death, and the power of fate. The novella is a significant part of the Victorian tradition of horror fiction. (Summary from Wikipedia) (1 hr 58 min)

This is a rich narrative told in first person. The story explains the feelings of a man who is suddenly given the power to see into the future and to read the thoughts of others. The reader’s voice is deeply pleasant.

Good reader. Introspective Gothic mystery. Gender norm criticisms, fraternal and class tensions that mine the rich linguistic veins of Romanticism.

Frustratingly short but perfectly formed! The voice of the reader adds piquance to the mood and themes of the book.
Well read!
