Synopsis
Latin neighbors, were still large, florid, and untrammelled, as became the half of him which was barbaric. He was a man of exuberant fancy, and, withal, of an authority so irresistible that, at his will, he turned his varied fancies into facts. He was greatly given to selfcommuning; and, when he and himself agreed upon any thing, the thing was done. When every member of his domestic and political systems moved smoothly in its appointed course, his nature was bland and genial; but whenever there was a little hitch, and some of his orbs got out of their orbits, he was blander and more genial still, for nothing pleased him so much as to make the crooked straight, and crush down uneven places. A mong the borrowed notions by which his barbarism had become semified was that of the public arena, in which, by exhibitions of manly and beastly valor, the minds of his subjects were refined and cultured.

The Lady, or the Tiger?: And Other Stories (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a thought-provoking collection of two Victorian era ghost stories. One of the stories is a classic tale of romance and the supernatural, in which a young man must decide between his love for a mortal woman and his duty to the ghost of her deceased uncle. The second story is a more philosophical exploration of the nature of ghosts and the afterlife, in which a man is haunted by the ghost of a Russian officer who was murdered. Both stories are well-written and suspenseful, and they offer a unique and insightful look at the Victorian fascination with the supernatural. The author explores the themes of love, loss, and the nature of reality, and he does so with a wit and charm that is sure to entertain and engage readers.
