Bruno's Dream is a novel by Iris Murdoch that tells the story of Bruno, an old man obsessed with his past and his passion for spiders. From his bed, he traps in his web his son Miles, his son-in-law Danby, Danby's lover Adelaide, and Adelaide's twin cousins, Will and Nigel. The novel explores themes of love, jealousy, revenge, and redemption, with a plot reminiscent of Shakespearean dramas. Considered one of Iris Murdoch's major works, the novel stands out for its philosophical and narrative depth.
