Пра гэту электронную кнігу
Excerpt: "Matter is but the eternal dressing of the imagination; the world the unconscious self-delusion of a Spirit. Everything springs from Love, and Love is the dreaming God. Two figments of that endless sweet obsession stood alone—high on a slope of Alp this time. Born of a dream to flesh, they thought they owed themselves to flesh—a sacred debt. Truth seemed as plain to them as pebbles in a brook, which lie round and firm for all their apparent shaking under ripples. There, actual to their eyes, were the white mountains, the hoary glaciers, the pine woods and foamy freshets of eighteenth century Le Prieuré. Here, actual in the ears of each, was the whisper of the deathless confidence which for ever and ever helps on love's succession. They loved, and therefore they lived."
Звесткі пра аўтара
Bernard Capes (1854-1918) was an English author whose prolific output spanned genres including historical fiction, mystery, and supernatural tales. Born in London, Capes was the son of a chemist and a descendant of Huguenot refugees, which perhaps instilled in him a fascination with history and the dramatic upheavals of the past. He began his writing career as a journalist, contributing to various periodicals before turning his hand to fiction.Capes' literary contributions are notable for their vivid storytelling and meticulous historical detail. His works often explored the darker sides of human nature and the supernatural, earning him a reputation as a master of eerie and atmospheric narratives. Among his contemporaries, Capes was admired for his ability to blend historical accuracy with compelling, often macabre, storytelling.One of the intriguing aspects of Capes' career was his ability to navigate the literary marketplace of his time, which was dominated by serialized fiction and the rise of the popular press. He was a contemporary of Arthur Conan Doyle and M.R. James, and his work influenced the burgeoning genre of detective fiction and ghost stories. Capes' tales often featured morally complex characters and unexpected twists, which kept readers on the edge of their seats.Though not without controversy, Capes' work occasionally drew criticism for its dark themes and graphic depictions of violence. However, these elements also contributed to his lasting appeal and his ability to capture the anxieties of a society on the brink of modernity. His stories continue to be rediscovered by modern readers who appreciate the blend of historical intrigue and gothic horror that Capes so masterfully crafted.
