The brooding, introverted Count von O- arrives in Venice during the
carnival in order to escape from his duties and live incognito. But
after encountering a enigmatic Armenian stranger who makes an
uncanny pronouncement, a bizarre chain of events unfolds, involving
a Jesuit secret society, a ghostly seance and a mysterious Sicilian
magician - leading the Count to question his faith and morality.
First serialized in 1787-89, this multilayered, fragmentary novel -
which gave Friedrich Schiller a platform to expound his
Enlightenment ideas on society and religion - has thrilled and
engaged lovers of Gothic literature for over two centuries.
