The Room In The Dragon Volant is a gothic novel written by J. Sheridan Le Fanu. The story is set in France in the early 19th century and follows the adventures of a young Englishman named Richard Beckett. Beckett travels to France with the intention of experiencing the country's culture and indulging in its pleasures. However, his journey takes a dark turn when he becomes embroiled in a web of intrigue and danger.Beckett meets a mysterious woman named Madame de la Rougierre, who invites him to stay at her chateau. There, he discovers a secret room in which a man is being held captive. Beckett becomes obsessed with uncovering the truth about the captive and the people who are holding him. As he delves deeper into the mystery, he finds himself drawn into a world of deceit, betrayal, and murder.Le Fanu's writing is atmospheric and suspenseful, creating a sense of foreboding that keeps the reader on edge throughout the novel. The Room In The Dragon Volant is a classic gothic tale that explores themes of madness, passion, and the dark side of human nature. It is a must-read for fans of the genre and anyone who enjoys a gripping, thrilling story.I had received one of those unacknowledged shocks which startle us, when, fancying ourselves perfectly alone, we discover on a sudden that our antics have been watched by a spectator, almost at our elbow. In this case the effect was enhanced by the extreme repulsiveness of the face, and, I may add, its proximity, for, as I think, it almost touched mine.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
