Maggiori informazioni sul libro

The narrative centers on Squire Vane, who dismisses local superstitions about three imported "peacock trees" believed to bring illness and danger. To prove their harmlessness, he spends a night among them, only to vanish by morning. His guests and a local doctor embark on a quest to unravel the mystery of his disappearance. This story intricately explores themes of belief in the supernatural, human arrogance, and the complexities of honor, weaving a compelling tale that challenges rationality and superstition.
