The String of Pearls: Tale of Sweeney Todd, the Demon Barber of Fleet Street (Horror Classic) - Softcover
Inhaltsangabe
Sweeney Todd is a barber who murders his customers and turns their remains into meat pies sold at the pie shop of Mrs. Lovett, his partner in crime. His barber shop is situated in Fleet Street, London, next to St. Dunstan's church, and is connected to Lovett's pie shop in nearby Bell Yard by means of an underground passage. Todd dispatches his victims by pulling a lever while they are in his barber chair, which makes them fall backward down a revolving trapdoor and generally causes them to break their necks or skulls on the cellar floor below. If the victims are still alive, he goes to the basement and "polishes them off" by slitting their throats with his straight razor.

The String of Pearls : Tale of Sweeney Todd, the Demon Barber of Fleet Street (Horror Classic)
Anbieter: AHA-BUCH GmbH, Einbeck, Deutschland
Verkäuferbewertung 5 von 5 Sternen
Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In 'The String of Pearls, ' James Malcolm Rymer crafts a haunting tale that intertwines the themes of love, revenge, and the inexorable grip of fate, all set against the backdrop of Victorian London. Utilizing a serialized narrative style characteristic of 19th-century gothic literature, Rymer introduces the infamous character of Sweeney Todd, the Demon Barber of Fleet Street. The story delves into the chilling underbelly of the city, where a duplicitous murderer preys upon unsuspecting victims, with each chapter revealing layers of intrigue and terror, compelling readers to ponder moral complexities within a society teetering on the brink of industrial transformation. Rymer, a Scottish writer and playwright, emerged in a literary landscape shaped by the rise of urbanization and the fascination with crime and sensation. His background in theatre and experience writing for popular periodicals likely influenced his ability to create vivid characters and gripping plots, engaging a readership that was simultaneously captivated and horrified by tales of crime and vice. 'The String of Pearls' reflects not only individual depravity but also societal anxieties regarding progress and morality in an era marked by vast change. I highly recommend 'The String of Pearls' to readers drawn to gothic fiction and the psychological exploration of villainy. It serves as an essential reading for those interested in the historical foundations of horror literature and the moral dilemmas encapsulated within. Artikel-Nr. 9788027305704
