Sinossi
An ingenious, highly imaginative early novella, The Spell—a remarkable tale of love and jealousy, rivalry and thwarted ambition—is a testimony to Charlotte Brontė's craft as a writer. When the infant Marquis of Almeida is pronounced dead, the kingdoms of Wellingtonsland and Angria are deprived of their heir. Anxious to secure the nations’ future security, King Zamorna’s advisers entreat him to name his successor—and when Zamorna himself succumbs to a mysterious, life-threatening sickness, the need becomes more urgent still. Yet Zamorna remains strangely unperturbed. Confusion turns to political intrigue as those closest to him wonder exactly what it is he knows and who, precisely, are the mysterious characters surrounding him. English novelist Charlotte Brontė is best remembered for her perennially popular novel, Jane Eyre.

Recensione
'It's always the quiet ones. Charlotte Bronte, demurest of the Brontė sisters, gave The Spell a brutally attractive hero ('as tall as Milton's Satan'), the Duke of Zamorna, whose melodramatic rants and flourishes would have made Jane Eyre's Mr. Rochester blush. It's fun to watch Zamorna's nemesis fling his cape across his shoulder and vanish into the darkness, as his wife, a woman of unquestioned nobility, struggles to unravel the mystery that makes her marriage a torment. This is not Brontė at her level best, but it's a guilty pleasure to watch her flying high.' --Oprah Magazine
