Maturin's dark tale of the brothers Ippolito and Annibal Montorio is a complexly plotted adventure, full of \"strong and vigorous fancy, with great command of language,\" according to Sir Walter Scott. Maturin's relish for the gothic and horrid, so brilliantly exploited in his masterpiece of 1820, Melmoth the Wanderer, here makes its first appearance, and the themes that haunted the later novel find their initial expression in Fatal Revenge. Maturin's unique talents of \"darkening the gloomy, and of deepening the sad; of painting life in extremes, and representing those struggles of passion when the soul trembles on the verge of the unlawful and the unhallowed,\" make Fatal Revenge a compelling essay into the twilight world of the late gothic novel, one in which both innocence and evil are ultimately unable to triumph over the forces that overwhelm them.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Charles Robert Maturin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1304373428\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781304373427\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Lulu.com\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/14\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 706\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.61lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 1.69d","brand":"Charles Robert Maturin","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48659341705471,"sku":"9781304373427","price":54.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/fatal-revenge-works-of-charles-charles-robert-maturin-9781304373427","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
