The Suicide's Grave

Autor James Hogg Editat de Andrew Lang
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 29 ian 2010
Desolate, wind-swept, the moor—the grave—lies unblessed, its soil untended and cursed. 

First published in 1824, James Hogg's Gothic tale tells the story of a man named Robert Wringhim, who believes he is predestined for salvation, that any sin he commits is justified as long as it serves God's will. In The Suicides Grave, Hogg weaves an eerie atmosphere of moral reckoning and spectral dread, as the land itself seems to recoil from the sinner buried beyond the church’s grace.

A new illustrated edition of the classic novel featuring ballpoint pen illustrations, cover, and interior design by Dmitry Samarov.

Notă biografică

James Hogg (1770 - 1835) was a Scottish poet, novelist and essayist who wrote in both Scots and English. As a young man he worked as a shepherd and farmhand and was largely self-educated through reading. He was a friend of many of the great writers of his day, including Sir Walter Scott, of whom he later wrote an unauthorized biography. He became widely known as the "Ettrick Shepherd", a nickname under which some of his works were published and the character name he was given in the widely read series Noctes Ambrosianae, published in Blackwood's Magazine. He is best known today for his novel The Private Memoirs and Confessions of a Justified Sinner. His other works include the long poem The Queen's Wake (1813), his collection of songs Jacobite Reliques (1819) and his two novels The Three Perils of Man (1822), and The Three Perils of Woman (1823).
