Sinossi

The Three Impostors is a fascinating exploration of the themes of identity, deception, and moral ambiguity, woven into a rich tapestry of Victorian literature. This enigmatic work, published in 1895, employs a fragmented narrative style, interlinking the lives of its characters through a series of seemingly disjointed stories, ultimately revealing a deeper philosophical inquiry into the nature of truth and illusion. The book is set against the backdrop of an era marked by social upheaval and the questioning of traditional values, offering readers a unique reflection on the complexities of human experience and the many facades people wear. Written by an anonymous author, The Three Impostors is often associated with the fin de si√®cle movement, at a time when literary figures were increasingly interested in exploring the darker aspects of the human psyche. The author'Äôs decision to remain anonymous invites speculation about their motivations and identity, leading readers to consider whether the themes of disguise and falsehood that permeate the text may have stemmed from the author'Äôs own experiences and societal observations. This compelling read is highly recommended for anyone interested in psychological literature, mystery, and the intricacies of truth. The Three Impostors challenges readers to rethink their perceptions and assumptions, making it a timeless piece that continues to resonate with contemporary audiences.

Midnight Timetable - A Novel in...

Bora Chung

From the author and translator of the National Book Award finalist and Booker Prize shortlisted Cursed Bunny, comes a novel-in-ghost-stories, set in a mysterious research center that houses cursed objects, where those who open the wrong door might find it’s disappeared behind them, or that the echoing footsteps they’re running from are their own…    The acclaimed Korean horror and sci-fi writer’s goosebump-inducing new book follows an employee on the night shift at the Institute. They soon learn why some employees don't last long at the center. The handkerchief in Room 302 once belonged to the late mother of two sons, whose rivalry imbues the handkerchief with undue power and unravels the lives of those who seek to possess it. Meanwhile a live-streaming, ghost-chasing employee steals a cursed sneaker down the hall, but later finds he can’t escape its tread. The cat in Room 206 begins to reveal the crimes of its former family, wanting to understand its own path to the Institute’s dimly lit halls.  But Chung's haunted institute isn't just a chilling place to play. As in her astounding collections Cursed Bunny and Your Utopia, these violent allegories subtly excavate the horrors of animal cosmetic testing, “conversion therapy,” domestic abuse, and late-stage capitalism. Equal parts bone-chilling, wryly funny, and deeply political, Midnight Timetable is a masterful work of literary horror from one of our time's greatest imaginations.
