O ovoj e-knjizi

A paranormal book that does a good job actually of leading one deep into spiritualism and possession by slow degrees. But it is frightening in the idea of dis-embodied evil wanting nothing so much as a body with which to enjoy every thing evil can offer. (Amazon)

O autoru

E. F. Benson (1867-1940) was a prolific English novelist, biographer, memoirist, and short story writer, best known for his Mapp and Lucia series, which humorously depicted the lives of upper-middle-class society in the fictional town of Tilling. Born into a distinguished family—his father was Edward White Benson, the Archbishop of Canterbury—Benson's upbringing was steeped in intellectual and cultural richness, which profoundly influenced his literary career.Benson's works spanned various genres, including supernatural fiction, where he explored themes of the uncanny and the macabre, earning him a place among the notable ghost story writers of his time. His keen observational skills and satirical wit allowed him to craft characters that were both endearing and sharply critical of societal norms.One of the more intriguing aspects of Benson's life was his sexuality. Though he never publicly acknowledged his homosexuality, his relationships with men were an open secret among his contemporaries. This aspect of his life has garnered significant interest in modern times, as it sheds light on the complexities of living as a gay man in early 20th-century England.Benson's influence extended beyond his own era, impacting contemporary writers such as Nancy Mitford and Evelyn Waugh, who admired his ability to blend humor with social commentary. His revolutionary ideas on gender and sexuality, though subtly woven into his narratives, have prompted modern readers to re-evaluate his contributions to literature and society.E. F. Benson remains a fascinating figure for his ability to capture the essence of his time while subtly challenging its conventions, making his work resonate with readers even today.
