Hier versammeln sich Geister jeder Art: geheimnisvolle Erscheinungen, furchteinflößende Gespenster, aber auch mitleiderregende Überbleibsel vergangener Zeiten. So erzählt Edgar Allan Poe gruselig von den unheimlichen Ereignissen im "Hause Usher". Ein mysteriöser "Horla" treibt Guy de Maupassants Protagonisten in den Wahnsinn. Ludwig Bechstein berichtet vom "Fliegenden Holländer", dessen Geisterschiff zum ewigen Umherirren auf den Meeren verdammt ist.

This collection focuses upon the land he knew and loved so well - Normandy. Its people and its countryside are portrayed here in vivid color and with great warmth. Amusing, saucy, and sometimes even farcical they may be, but they are also capable of great pathos, often branching off to end tragically.
