A superb example of the Gothic novel, Anne Radcliffe's The Mysteries of Udolpho is a tale of mystery, romance, and dark secrets that weave together in a thrillingly tense narrative. When young Emilie Saint-Aubert is left an orphan, her life changes dramatically: she finds herself in the mysterious Castle of Udolpho, full of dark secrets, eerie shadows, and inexplicable phenomena. Under the rule of the cruel and sinister Montoni, Emilie is forced to fight not only for her inheritance, but also for her own freedom and life. The work is presented in the original, without adaptations or abbreviations.
