About This Book

Un gentilhomme ruiné s'enfuit de Paris avec son épouse et deux domestiques, méditant sur les conséquences de la dissipation et des dettes. En pleine nuit et par tempête, ils se perdent sur une lande et cherchent refuge dans une masure isolée; l'homme est séparé de sa famille, introduit de force dans une chambre et retenu par des inconnus, tandis que des voix et les sanglots d'une femme annoncent un danger imminent. Le récit mêle suspense gothique, paysages sauvages et réflexions morales sur la passion, le remords et la fragilité des positions sociales, et annonce une série d'énigmes et d'épreuves à venir.
