Thrillingly held together by its dramatic plot and lavish, operatic setting, it is a multi-layered fiction of deceptive simplicity. For a rich young prince and his loyal companion, Venice promises nothing but unfettered pleasure—until they encounter a mysterious masked Armenian who delivers them a strange prophecy. And when his words prove true, this enigmatic figure develops a deeply sinister influence over them, drawing them into darker forms of “magic.” As the narrative progresses, it become increasingly unclear whether the apparitions the prince sees are the manifestations of a troubled spirit world or simply an elaborate hoax. Friedrich von Schiller is one of the leading figures of 18th-century German literature, most famous for his dramatic works The Robbers, Mary Stuart, and William Tell.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"IH PENTZ BOOKSELLERS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46636007653538,"sku":null,"price":120.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0364\/4047\/3732\/files\/download_22083f7b-ed14-4331-bf98-77f2145159df.jpg?v=1772524852","url":"https:\/\/pentzbooks.co.za\/products\/the-ghost-seer-by-friedrich-von-schiller-2-more","provider":"I H Pentz Booksellers","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
