Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu: Zelený dìs Pøeložil Josef Volák. Ilustrace Milan Erazim, Albatros Praha, 1991 Svìt pøízrakù Kniha je souborem pìti hororù, v nichž hlavním námìtem jsou pøízraky. Tyto pøízraky se objevují v rùzných podobách a dohánìjí své obìti až ke smrti. Hrdinou titulní povídky je dùstojný pan Jennings, kterého znenadání zaèala pronásledovat malá opice. Vidìl ji stále poblíž sebe, ale když se jí chtìl dotknout, nešlo to. Byla nehmotná. Když utrpení nebohého pana Jenningse dosáhlo vrcholu, sáhl si na život. Další povídky jsou variacemi na podobné téma. Vrcholem je závìreèná povídka Carmilla, což je velice pìknì napsaný pøíbìh o dívce - upírovi. Carmilla se pod rùznými jmény vloudí do pøíznì mladých dívek a pak z nich postupnì vysává život. v posledním pøípadì se však podaøilo její kouzlo zlomit. Zdenìk Töpfer DÌS A ELEGANCE V díle spisovatele Josepha Sheridana Le Fanu (1814 - 1873) se èasto vyskytují prvky záhady a tajemství. Nejúspìšnìjší sbírka povídek tohoto autora In a Glass Darkly (1872) vyšla v èeštinì pod názvem Zelený dìs. Všechny povídky jsou podávány jako úryvky z korespondence jistého doktora Hesselia profesorovi Van Loovi. Hesseliùv sekretáø pøíbìhy z dopisù opsal, pøeložil a nyní je pøedkládá ètenáøi. Jak z textu vyplývá, byl dr. Heeselius lékaøem a zabýval se i takzvaným metafyzickým lékaøstvím. Hned v první povídce se ukazuje, že má i závidìníhodné dedukèní schopnosti, když pøesnì ve stylu S. Holmese a bez jakéhokoli vodítka uèiní zajímavé a pøesné závìry o úplnì neznámém èlovìku.

Sheridan Le Fanu (1814-1873) Irish journalist, novelists, and short story writer, called the father of the modern ghost story. Although Le Fanu was one of the most popular writers of the Victorian era, he is not so widely read anymore. Le Fanu's best-known works include Uncle Silas (1864), a suspense story, and The House by the Churchyard (1863), a murder mystery. His vampire story 'Carmilla,' which influenced Bram Stoker's Dracula , has been filmed several times. "Pen, ink, and paper are cold vehicles for the marvelous, and a "reader" decidedly a more critical animal than a "listener." (from 'An Account of Some Strange Disturbances in Aungier Street', 1853) Joseph Thomas Sheridan Le Fanu was born in Dublin into a wealthy family of Huguenot origins. His father, Thomas Philip Le Fanu, was a clergyman. Le Fanu started to write poems in his childhood. In 1833 he entered Trinity College, where he read law and graduated in 1837. His first story, 'The Ghost and the Bonesetter', appeared in the Dublin University Magazine in 1838. It also published many of his other stories in the following years, which were later collected in

66. Sheridan Le Fanu Biography Sheridan Le Fanu biography. Joseph Thomas Sheridan Le Fanu (1814 1873) was anIrish writer of ghost stories, mystery novels and a ceLebrated vampire story. http://il.essortment.com/sheridanlefanu_rzxd.htm

Sheridan le Fanu biography Joseph Thomas Sheridan Le Fanu (1814 - 1873) was an Irish writer of ghost stories, mystery novels and a celebrated vampire story. It is difficult to say why he is not as popular as Bram Stoker nor why his vampire novella, 'Carmilla', is not as well known as 'Dracula'. He is not particularly fashionable nowadays, while Bram Stoker's story is still rehashed and used as inspiration for many other writers in every possible genre. Le Fanu was related to the playwright Richard Brinsley Sheridan, hence his name. His family was an old Irish Huguenot one, literary and well-educated. He was educated at Trinity College, Dublin, and was called to the bar but did not practice law, setting himself up in journalism the following year by buying the 'Warden' and the 'Protestant Guardian' and editing them, and acquiring a one-third share of three other newspapers. bodyOffer(23855) His first fictional work was written while he was still a student. 'The Purcell Papers' were eventually collected in three volumes in 1880, long after he had established himself as a writer of the supernatural. He published 14 novels between 1845 and 1873, including 'Uncle Silas' which is still read today. He was also a prolific short story writer. His position with regard to publishing these stories was made much easier by virtue of the fact that he owned and edited the 'Dublin University Magazine' between 1861and 1869, and published many of his stories in it. In fact his first published story, 'The Ghost and the Bonesetter', was published in 1838 (the year he finished his university education) in this magazine, though he obviously did not own it as this point. The same magazine also published 'The Purcell Papers' over a period of time from 1838 - 1840. He also owned the 'Dublin Evening Mail', and other newspapers, and had a long and successful journalistic career as well.

Nel 1832 inizia a studiare al Trinity College dove si laurea in Giurisprudenza. Pubblica alcuni racconti sul "Dublin University Magazine" ( The Ghost and the Bone-setter, The Firtunes of Sir Robert Ardagh e Schalken the Painter ).

Nel 1844 sposa Susan Bennett che morirà dopo soli 14 anni e questo porterà Le Fanu a perdere ogni interesse per la vita sociale fino ad essere definito "The Invisible Prince". Poco prima di morire pubblica le raccolte di racconti Chronicles of Golden Friars, 1871 e In a Glass Darkly, 1872 Usciranno postumi The Purcell Papers e Madam Crowl's Ghost and Other Tales of Mistery che raccolgono racconti pubblicati solo su rivista.

JOSEPH SHERIDAN LE FANU (Dublin 28 August 1814 - Dublin 7 February 1873) LIFE: He spends his youth in Chapelizod, at the periphery of Dublin, and Abington, in county Limerick, living in close contact with a rural society poor but proud and imbued with superstitions. In 1832 he begins to study at Trinity College where he takes degree in Jurisprudence. He publishes some tales on the "Dublin University Magazine" ( The Ghost and the Bone-setter The Fortunes of Sir Robert Ardagh and Schalken the Painter ). He writes two historical novels set in England inspired by Walter Scott and the short collection Ghost Stories and Tales of Mistery, 1851 . In 1844 marries Susan Bennett who will die 14 years after driving Le Fanu to lose every interest in social life until being defined "The Invisible Prince". Shortly before his death he publishes the tales collections Chronicles of Golden Friars, 1871 and In a Glass Darkly, 1872 The Purcell Papers and Madam Crowl's Ghost and Other Tales of Mistery that collect tales published only on magazines, are published posthumous. Le Fanu gained his reputation especially for tales (his historical novels never had large fortune), in which he is inspired by the numerous local traditions, that stir ancient pagan reminiscences with Christian venerations; He narrates of restless phantoms in solitary castles, of fairies, gnomes and leprechauns who live in forests and kidnap children; of bewitches animals and fantastic creatures who lay traps in woods.

JOSEPH SHERIDAN LE FANU (1814 - 1873) novelist and journalist Born 28 th Aug 1814, 45 Dominick Street, Dublin Educated by his father, a clergyman, and at TCD. While an undergraduate he became a contributor to Dublin University Magazine and about 1837 wrote two stirring ballads, ‘Paudrig Crohoore’ and ‘Shamus O’Brien’, which won wide popularity. Called to the bar 1839 but soon abandoned law to devote himself to journalism. He bought three Dublin newspapers, the Warder,Evening Packet, and Dublin Evening Mail, and amalgamated them as the Evening Mail; it flourished for over a hundred years. Formerly witty and gregarious, he withdrew from society following the death of his wife in 1858 and took to writing the novels by which he is remembered. The House by the Churchyard (1863) and Uncle Silas (1864) made his reputation as a master of the mysterious and the uncanny. In a Glass Darkly (1872), a collection of his stories, includes ‘The Watcher’, the most spine-chilling. From 1869 to 1872 he was proprietor and editor of Dublin University Magazine.
