Falkner is a novel written by Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley, the author of the famous Gothic novel Frankenstein. The novel is set in the early 19th century and follows the story of a young man named Falkner who is haunted by a secret from his past. Falkner is a wealthy and well-educated man who has always lived a privileged life. However, his past comes back to haunt him when he meets a young woman named Elizabeth who reminds him of a tragic event from his youth. As the story unfolds, Falkner's past is slowly revealed, and the reader learns about the events that led to his current state of mind. The novel explores themes of guilt, redemption, and the consequences of one's actions. It also touches on the issues of class and society, as Falkner struggles to come to terms with his privileged upbringing and the responsibilities that come with it.The novel is written in Shelley's signature Gothic style, with elements of mystery, suspense, and horror. It is a complex and thought-provoking work that delves into the depths of the human psyche and the complexities of human relationships. Falkner is a must-read for fans of Gothic literature and those who enjoy exploring the darker side of human nature.She did not only recall his conversation, but conjectured the causes of his sorrow, and felt deeply interested by the mystery that hung about him. So young and so unhappy! And he had been long so--he was more miserable when they saw him roving wildly among the Alsatian hills. What could it mean?--She strove to recollect what Miss Jervis mentioned at that time; she remembered only that he had no mother, and that his father was severe and unkind.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
