«La verge dels set punyals / La veu perversa» is the volume of two horror stories by Vernon Lee, published by Laertes in paperback (109 pages, in Catalan).
Two stories by Vernon Lee: «La verge dels set punyals», with black magic and the shadow of the Inquisition in Castilian legends; «La veu perversa», where music takes centre stage and tells the drama of Magnus, a man torn between reason and desire. Fantastic literature with erudition and irony.
Volume 76 of the L'Arcà collection from Laertes publishing. The stories are published in Catalan, translated from English by Roser Berdagué and Jordi Vidal Tubau, with a prologue by Eulàlia Lledó.
A book aimed at readers of classic horror, ghost stories and late 19th-century Gothic narrative.
Vernon Lee was the pseudonym of the French-born British writer Violet Paget. She is remembered today primarily for her supernatural fiction and her work on aesthetics. An early follower of Walter Pater, she wrote over a dozen volumes of essays on art, music and travel.
