Описание Collected Ghost Stories

"Рассказы о привидениях" - литературный жанр, известный с древнейших времен. Истории о призраках можно найти в книгах античных писателей, в устных народных сказаниях и даже в свитках Древнего Египта. Вполне вероятно, что существование привидений смущало и увлекало человека во времена, когда письменность еще не была изобретена. Английский писатель и историк Монтегю Родс Джеймс посвятил этому жанру все свои художественные произведения, став крупнейшим мастером "рассказов о привидениях".
В этом сборнике представлены тридцать избранных рассказов.
Книга на английском языке.
M.R. James is probably the finest ghost-story writer England has ever produced. These tales are not only classics of their genre, but are also superb examples of beautifully-paced understatement, convincing background and chilling terror. As well as the preface, there is a fascinating tail-piece by M.R. James, '
Stories I Have Tried To Write'
, which accompanies these thirty tales. Among them are '
Casting the Runes'
, '
Oh, Whistle and I'
ll come to you, My Lad'
, '
The Tractate Middoth'
, '
The Ash Tree'
and '

There are some authors one wishes one had never read in order to have the joy of reading them for the first time. For me, M.R. James is one of these'
