Edgar Huntly Or Memoirs Of A Sleep Walker (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781169295322)

""Edgar Huntly Or Memoirs Of A Sleep Walker"" is a novel written by Charles Brockden Brown. The story revolves around the protagonist, Edgar Huntly, who is a sleepwalker. One night, he wakes up to find his friend, Clithero, dead beside him. The circumstances surrounding the death are mysterious, and Huntly sets out to solve the mystery. Along the way, he encounters Native Americans, bears, and other dangers. Huntly's sleepwalking episodes add to the suspense and make it difficult for him to distinguish between reality and his dreams. As the story progresses, Huntly's mental and physical health deteriorates, and he becomes increasingly paranoid. The novel is a blend of Gothic horror, mystery, and psychological suspense. It explores themes such as guilt, identity, and the human psyche. Overall, ""Edgar Huntly Or Memoirs Of A Sleep Walker"" is a gripping tale that keeps readers on the edge of their seats.The ensuing day was spent, partly in sleep, and partly in languor and disquietude. I incessantly ruminated on the incidents of the last night. The scheme that I had formed was defeated. Was it likely that this unknown person would repeat his midnight visits to the Elm? If he did, and could again be discovered, should I resolve to undertake a new pursuit, which might terminate abortively, or in some signal disaster? But what proof had I that the same rout would be taken, and that he would again inter himself alive in the same spot?This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
