Book summary

In his laboratory, Dr Raymond operates on the brain of a young girl, Mary, so that she can see the world hidden behind our own, what the ancients called “seeing the god Pan”. Years later, in London, men from good society take their own lives one after another, and each time the same woman seems to have crossed their path.

Told in fragments, like an investigation, this short tale builds fear touch by touch. Lovecraft admired it, and it is one of the great classics of supernatural fiction.

With the translation always in front of you, you can enjoy the shivers in the language you are learning.

The plot

Seorang dokter ingin menyingkap dunia gaib. Dokter Raymond percaya ada dunia tak kasatmata yang tersembunyi di balik dunia kita. Ia membedah otak Mary, seorang gadis muda, agar Mary dapat melihatnya.

The world of the book

Dari hutan Wales ke jalan-jalan London. Pan adalah dewa Yunani alam liar, setengah manusia, setengah kambing. Dalam buku ini, “melihat dewa Pan” berarti melihat apa yang disembunyikan dunia kasatmata.
