Summary
An unforgettable amalgam of enchantment and menace from "outrageously inventive and daring novelist" (Sunday Independent) John Banville.
Ghosts opens with a shipwreck, leaving a party of sightseers temporarily marooned on an island. The stranded castaways make their way towards the refuge of the isle's reclusive savant. But the big isolated house, home to Professor Silas Kreutznaer and his laconic assistant, Licht, is also home to another, unnamed presence.
Onto this seemingly haunted island, where a strange singing hangs in the air, Banville drops a scrumptious cast of characters—including a murderer—and weaves a tale where the details are clear but the conclusion polymorphous. Shifting appearances, transformations, and thwarted assumptions make this world of uneasy calm utterly enthralling.
Now part of the Picador Collection, a series showcasing the very best of modern literature.
