A Modern Mephistopheles And A Whisper In The Dark is a novel by Louisa May Alcott, published in 1889. The book tells the story of Felix Canaris, a young and charming man who is admired by many, but who also has a dark side. He is a modern-day Mephistopheles, tempting those around him with his charisma and cunning. The novel follows Felix as he manipulates and seduces those who are drawn to him, including a young artist named Gerald. In A Whisper In The Dark, the second part of the book, Alcott explores the theme of spiritualism. The story centers around a young woman named Christie Devon who is haunted by the ghost of her dead husband. She seeks the help of a spiritualist medium, but soon realizes that the medium is a fraud. Christie then embarks on a journey to find the truth about the afterlife and the existence of spirits. Overall, A Modern Mephistopheles And A Whisper In The Dark is a thought-provoking novel that delves into themes of temptation, morality, and spirituality. Alcott's writing is nuanced and insightful, and the book remains a fascinating read over a century after its initial publication.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
