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

Um médico quer mostrar um mundo oculto. O doutor Raymond acredita que por detrás do nosso se esconde um mundo invisível. Opera o cérebro de Mary, uma rapariga, para que ela o possa ver.

The world of the book

Das florestas do País de Gales às ruas de Londres. Pan é um deus grego da natureza selvagem, metade homem, metade bode. No livro, «ver o deus Pan» é ver o que o mundo visível esconde.
