Castle of Otranto: A Gothic Story, 3/e 奧特蘭托堡描述

《奧特蘭托堡》於1764年出版，普遍被認為是第一部哥德小說。故事描述奧特蘭多的王子Manfred因懼怕古老的預言而走上毀滅的道路。獨子Conrad在婚禮當天離奇死亡後，Manfred決定娶原本的準新娘Isabella為妻。Isabella則決定從這座充斥神祕通道的城堡中逃離。故事中令人毛骨悚然的巧合、陰森的探訪、神秘的啟示及暴力的戰鬥融合了中世紀思想、恐怖等元素，形塑了現今的哥德文化。 Look, my lord! See heaven itself declares against your impious intentions!' The Castle of Otranto (1764) is the first supernatural English novel and one of the most influential works of Gothic fiction. It inaugurated a literary genre that will be forever associated with the effects that Walpole pioneered. Professing to be a translation of a mysterious Italian tale from the darkest Middle Ages, the novel tells of Manfred, prince of Otranto, whose fear of an ancient prophecy sets him on a course of destruction. After the grotesque death of his only son, Conrad, on his wedding day, Manfred determines to marry the bride to be. The virgin Isabella flees through a castle riddled with secret passages. Chilling coincidences, ghostly visitations, arcane revelations, and violent combat combine in a heady mix that is both chilling and terrifying. In this new edition Nick Groom's wide ranging introduction explores the novel's Gothic context in the cultural movement that affected political and religious thinking before Walpole developed it as a literary style, helping to explain the novel's impact on contemporaries, its importance, and Walpole's pioneering innovations in the horror genre.
