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

The world of the book

從威爾斯的森林到倫敦的街頭。潘恩是希臘神話中的荒野之神,半人半羊。書中所說的「看見潘恩神」,就是看見可見世界背後隱藏的東西。
