Sinossi
Excerpt from The Lady, or the Tiger?: And Other Stories
This was the king's semi-barbaric method of administering justice. Its perfect fairness is obvious. The criminal could not know out of which door would come the lady: he opened either he pleased, Without having the slightest idea whether, in the next instant, he was to be devoured or married. On some occasions the tiger came out of one door, and on some out of the other. The decisions of this tribunal were not only fair, they were positively determinate: the accused person was instantly punished if he found himself guilty; and, if innocent, he was rewarded on the spot, whether he liked it or not. There was no escape from the judgments of the king's arena.

The Lady, or the Tiger?: And Other Stories (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandDa: Forgotten Books, London, Regno Unito
Valutazione del venditore 5 su 5 stelle
Paperback. Condizione: 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.
