Acerca de este libro electrónico
Nightmare Abbey is a satirical novel, poking fun at the morbid obsessions of romantic literature. Peacock also took the opportunity to caricature and pillory actual historical figures. It centers around the melancholy gentleman and his son who inhabit Nightmare Abbey, their array of guests, and their depressing servants.
