The Castle of the Carpathians
A mesmerising tale — part gothic mystery, part proto-science fiction, set in the haunted forests of Transylvania.
What hidden secrets lurk within The Castle of the Carpathians? Jules Verne's tale takes you deep into the mysterious heart of Transylvania, where an ancient castle — long abandoned and feared by locals — suddenly stirs back to life. When a plume of smoke rises from its towers, the peaceful village of Werst is thrown into chaos. Is it haunted by restless spirits, or is something far more sinister unfolding?
This special edition has been enhanced for the modern reader, featuring a brand-new translation, a detailed study guide with a glossary of terms, and insightful new footnotes that illuminate Verne's blend of gothic tradition and technological imagination — the two forces that define his finest work.
