Jettatura

When Paul d'Aspremont travels to Naples to join Alicia Ward, his beautiful fiancee, he is surprised to see her grow pale under his gaze, and to discover that an Italian suitor, Count Altavilla, is trying to win her affections. Soon the strange gestures and whispers of the locals convince him - against his better judgement - that indeed he has the evil eye, and that he must resort to extreme measures if he wants to shield Alicia from its deadly effects.

This 1856 novella from the master of fantasy and the supernatural, featuring one of the most hauntingly surreal denouements in nineteenth-century fiction, is a brilliant and witty examination of man's innermost fantasies and fears.

Jettatura

Khi Paul d'Aspremont đến Naples để gặp Alicia Ward, vị hôn thê xinh đẹp của anh, anh đã ngạc nhiên khi thấy cô trở nên nhợt nhạt và phát hiện ra Bá tước Altavilla đang cố gắng giành được trái tim của cô. Ngay sau đó, những cử chỉ kỳ lạ và lời xì xào bàn tán của người dân địa phương đã khiến anh lung lay và che mờ phán đoán của mình. Họ thuyết phục anh rằng anh thực sự có con mắt độc ác, và anh ta phải dùng đến những biện pháp cực đaon để bảo vệ Alice khỏi những tác động tiêu cực của nó.

Cuốn tiểu thuyết ra đời năm 1856 của bậc thầy về tưởng tượng và siêu nhiên, là một trong những biểu tượng siêu thực ám ảnh nhất trong tiểu thuyết thế kỷ 19. Cuốn sách là một khảo sát tuyệt vời và dí dỏm về những tưởng tượng và nỗi sợ hãi sâu thẳm nhất của con người.
