From the monumental figure of Johann Friedrich von Schiller, Germany's most celebrated dramatist, poet, and philosopher, comes a gripping and unfinished masterpiece of psychological terror and political intrigue. The Ghost-Seer - Or, the Apparitionist (Der Geisterseher) abandons traditional Gothic trappings for the sunlit, yet sinister, canals of Venice, weaving a complex philosophical thriller. The naive Prince of a German state is systematically targeted and tormented by a cabal of shadowy, mysterious figures who manipulate him through a relentless series of seemingly supernatural apparitions and prophecies. Schiller masterfully explores the ambiguity: Are these terrifying events genuinely spectral, or are they elaborate, calculated hoaxes devised by a powerful secret society seeking to control the Prince's destiny? This novel is a profound examination of credulity versus reason, political corruption, and the terrifying power of deception. This unique work is essential reading for fans of philosophical mystery, Gothic literature with an intellectual edge, and tales of intrigue set within the dangerous world of 18th-century European occultism and power.
