00000nam a2200000 a 4500 Perry, Sarah aut Verfasser/-in Fantasy Geschichte Manuskript Melmoth Sarah Perry London Serpent´s Tail 2019 It has been years since Helen Franklin left England. In Prague, working as a translator, she has found a home of sorts—or, at least, unpronounced sanctuary. That changes when her friend Karel discovers a mysterious letter in the library, a strange confession and a curious warning that speaks of Melmoth the Witness, a dark legend found in obscure fairy tales and antique village lore. As such superstition has it, Melmoth hunts her prey through the ages, dooming those she captures to the damnation of timeless, itinerant solitude. To Helen it all seems the stuff of unenlightened fantasy. 9781788160674 9781788160674 1788160673 1788160673 270 S.
