      DER ROSENKREUZER & ZASTROZZI

      Erstübersetzung

      • 188 pages
      • 7 hours of reading

      Der Roman entfaltet sich um die düstere Figur Zastrozzi, die als Verkörperung von Shelleys atheistischer Weltanschauung dient. Durch die Erzählung wird ein tiefes psychologisches und moralisches Dilemma thematisiert, das die Grenzen von Gut und Böse hinterfragt. Die gotische Atmosphäre wird durch düstere Settings und komplexe Charaktere verstärkt, was das Werk zu einer frühen und bedeutenden Darstellung des Genres macht. Veröffentlicht anonym, spiegelt der Roman die literarischen Strömungen des frühen 19. Jahrhunderts wider und zeigt Shelleys innovative Herangehensweise an Horror und Romantik.
