The last, the most daring and large-scale novel by the great master of Gothic prose, who enriched the genre with unprecedented psychologicalism, deep study of characters and tragedy of plots. In the center of the work is a lonely young woman named Ethel living on the coast. A sudden shipwreck leads a stranger to her house, and with it - terrible threats to the world of the main character. But strong and brave Ethel meets the challenges of fate, although feelings sometimes overshadow the cold mind.

Why is it that man so often differs so strikingly from the noble creature that he might have been or might have been? Can a man who was once an idol completely disappear from this mysterious ark - a woman's heart? These and other questions are answered by Le Fanu, a writer who knew about loneliness, probably better than all his contemporaries.
