इस ई-बुक के बारे में जानकारी

In two novels, Zanoni (1842) and A Strange Story (1862), Bulwer-Lytton invented the Occult/Dark Fantasy subgenre (as opposed to other subgenres of fantasy like Tolkienian High Fantasy). Academic critics usually describe Zanoni as a künstlerroman (novel of the maturation of an artist) and as an allegory of Science versus Art, but Zanoni is also the first modern British work of occult fantasy. Charles Dickens took the ending of A Tale of Two Cities (1859) from Zanoni. A strong argument can be made that the school of cosmic horror which H.P. Lovecraft made famous begins with Zanoni and A Strange Story, or at the least is heavily influenced by it.

लेखक के बारे में

Baron Edward Bulwer Lytton Lytton (1803-1873) was a multifaceted English writer, politician, and aristocrat whose life and work left an indelible mark on the 19th century. Born into a prominent family, Lytton's literary career began with poetry but soon expanded into novels, plays, and essays that captivated Victorian audiences. His works, such as "The Last Days of Pompeii" and "Zanoni," are celebrated for their vivid imagination and intricate plots.Lytton's influence extended beyond literature; he was also a significant political figure, serving as a Member of Parliament and later as Secretary of State for the Colonies. His tenure saw the establishment of British Columbia as a colony, reflecting his impact on the British Empire's expansion.Controversy was never far from Lytton. His phrase "It was a dark and stormy night" has become synonymous with melodramatic writing, yet it underscores his flair for dramatic openings. His personal life, marked by a tumultuous marriage to Rosina Doyle Wheeler, who later became a vocal critic, added a layer of intrigue and scandal that fascinated contemporaries and modern readers alike.Lytton's legacy is also notable for his influence on contemporary writers. His exploration of supernatural and mystical themes prefigured the works of later authors like H.P. Lovecraft. Moreover, his advocacy for social reform and his interest in the occult and metaphysics resonated with the intellectual currents of his time, making him a revolutionary thinker who bridged the gap between Romanticism and the burgeoning modern era.In sum, Edward Bulwer Lytton Lytton was a towering figure whose literary and political endeavors continue to intrigue and inspire, embodying the complexities and contradictions of the Victorian age.
