Author Schiller, Friedrich, 1759-1805
Title The Ghost-Seer; or the Apparitionist; and Sport of Destiny
Credits Produced by David Widger
Summary "The Ghost-Seer; or, the Apparitionist; and Sport of Destiny" by Friedrich Schiller is a novel crafted in the late 18th century. The narrative unfolds through the experiences of an unnamed protagonist, who recounts a series of supernatural and mysterious events involving a sensitive prince and various apparitions. The themes touch on human intellect's fallibility and the complex interplay between fate, ambition, and supernatural phenomena. At the start of the novel, the protagonist returns to Courland during Carnival and meets a prince in Venice, where their friendship is rekindled. The prince, characterized by his gravity and melancholic demeanor, is intrigued by an unsettling encounter with a mysterious masked figure, dubbed the Armenian, who predicts a death. This initial incident sets into motion a series of explorations into the world of apparitions, wherein the prince seeks to understand mystical revelations while navigating the treacherous waters of Venice's dark political and supernatural landscape. The opening introduces a blend of suspense, intrigue, and philosophical inquiry that promises an enthralling tale of destiny and the human experience. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
