Burg Von Otranto

Burg von Otranto

by Horace Walpole

Die Burg von Otranto erzählt die Geschichte von Manfred, dem Fürsten von Otranto, dessen Leben durch eine Reihe von unheilvollen Ereignissen und geheimnisvollen Vorkommnissen auf den Kopf gestellt wird. Als sein Sohn auf tragische Weise ums Leben kommt, beschließt Manfred, seine junge Verlobte Isabelle zu heiraten, was jedoch zu einer Reihe von Intrigen und Komplikationen führt. Geisterhafte Erscheinungen, eine dunkle Prophezeiung und die Rückkehr eines lange für tot gehaltenen Fürsten werfen ihre Schatten auf die Burg und die Bewohner. Die Geschichte ist voll von düsteren Geheimnissen, unerklärlichen Geschehnissen und einer atmosphärisch dichten Umgebung, die die Leser bis zum Schluss in ihren Bann zieht.
