ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK 
"The Secret History" by Donna Tartt tells the story of a group of eccentric classics students at a New England college and their descent into a dark and secretive world. The narrative follows Richard Papen, a newcomer who becomes entangled with the group, led by the charismatic but manipulative Henry Winter. The group's fascination with ancient Greek culture and their desire to transcend the mundane lead them to commit a shocking crime, the murder of their fellow student, Bunny Corcoran. The novel explores themes of morality, obsession, and the destructive power of secrecy as the students struggle with the consequences of their actions and try to cover up their crime.
