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

숨은 세계를 보여 주려는 의사. 레이먼드 박사는 우리 세계 뒤에 보이지 않는 세계가 숨어 있다고 믿는다. 그는 그 세계를 보게 하려고 소녀 메리의 뇌를 수술한다.

The world of the book

웨일스의 숲에서 런던의 거리로. 판은 야생 자연의 그리스 신으로, 반은 사람, 반은 염소다. 이 책에서 “판 신을 본다”는 것은 눈에 보이는 세계가 감춘 것을 본다는 뜻이다.
