Publisher's Synopsis
Melmoth the Wanderer is a gothic novel written by Charles Robert Maturin. The story follows the character of Melmoth, a mysterious and cursed wanderer who has roamed the earth for centuries, seeking redemption for his past sins. Melmoth is a figure of terror, as he is said to appear to those who are about to die, offering them a chance to escape their fate in exchange for their soul. The novel is set in the 19th century and is full of supernatural elements, including ghosts, demons, and otherworldly beings. It explores themes of guilt, redemption, and the consequences of one's actions. The book is considered a classic of gothic literature and has been influential in the development of horror fiction.Stanton was thinking thus, when all power of thought was suspended, by seeing two persons bearing between them the body of a young, and apparently very lovely girl, who had been struck dead by the lightning. Stanton approached, and heard the voices of the bearers repeating, ""There is none who will mourn for her!""This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
