The Fallen Star is a novel written by Edward Bulwer-Lytton that tells the story of a young man named Glyndon who becomes enamored with the occult and seeks to uncover the secrets of the universe. He is introduced to a mysterious woman named Mejnour who is a master of the occult and takes Glyndon under his wing to teach him the ways of the world.As Glyndon delves deeper into the occult, he becomes obsessed with the idea of immortality and seeks to find a way to achieve it. Along the way, he encounters a beautiful woman named Viola who he falls in love with, but his obsession with immortality threatens to destroy their relationship.The novel explores themes of love, obsession, and the pursuit of knowledge, as well as the dangers of delving too deeply into the unknown. It is a gripping tale of mystery and intrigue that will keep readers on the edge of their seats.As Morven, the son of Osslah, thus mused within himself, still looking at the heavens, the solitary man beheld a star suddenly shooting from its place, and speeding through the silent air, till it as suddenly paused right over the midnight river, and facing the inmate of the pile of stones.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
