The Mystery of the Gallows

The series "Mysterious Tales" is a collection of works of small prose written in the 19th - the first half of the 20th century. Stories in which fiction cannot be distinguished from fact, dreams from reality, lies from truth, fantasy... from jokes, and the play of a sick imagination from reality have always been popular with readers. In the era of Romanticism, dramatic plots about gloomy castles, dark dungeons, and ghosts - Gothic literature - were popular. Writers of the mid-19th century enriched its rich traditions with a new approach to the mysterious: artistic investigations into the psyche of man, its possibilities, and oddities. The mysterious and inexplicable remained in demand even in the age of philosophical skepticism, the flourishing of science, and the triumph of technology. The collection presents stories and novellas by the classics of French literature: O. de Balzac, George Sand, H. de Maupassant, P. Merimee, and others.
