Perihal e-buku ini
Carmilla, written by Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu, is a groundbreaking novella published in 1872 that intricately weaves the gothic and horror genres. Set in the shadowy confines of an isolated Austrian estate, the narrative introduces readers to Laura, a young woman who becomes entwined in a sinister relationship with the mysterious Carmilla. Le Fanu employs a richly descriptive literary style, laced with psychological depth and sexual undertones, which was revolutionary for its time. The novella emerges from a Victorian context grappling with issues of sexuality, identity, and the supernatural, establishing itself as a precursor to modern vampire literature. Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu, an Irish author, was deeply influenced by the folklore and myths of his homeland, as well as the burgeoning interest in sensational literature of the 19th century. His exploration of the uncanny and the repressed sexuality of his characters reflects the societal tensions of the Victorian era. Le Fanu's finesse in crafting suspenseful and atmospheric narratives showcases his mastery of the gothic tradition, earning him a revered place among his contemporaries. Carmilla is a must-read for those enthralled by gothic literature and the evolution of vampire narratives. It not only captures the eerie essence of its genre but also delves into the complexities of desire, fear, and power dynamics. This novella challenges readers to ponder the boundaries of morality and the nature of human relationships, making it a timeless exploration of the darker aspects of the human psyche.
