Opis: A Strange Story - Lytton Edward Bulwer

Excerpt from A Strange Story: And the Haunted<br><br>In the year 18 - I settled as a physician at one of the wealthiest of our great English towns, which I will designate by the initial L -. I was yet young, but I had acquired some reputation by a professional work which is, I believe, still among the received authorities on the subject of which it treats.

In passing through the Tyrol, on my way into the north of Italy, I found in a small inn, remote from medical attendance, an English traveler - seized with acute, inflammation of the lungs, and in a state of imminent danger. I devoted myself to him night and day, and, perhaps more through careful nursing than active remedies, I had the happiness to effect his complete recovery. The traveler proved to be Julius Faber, a physician of great distinction - contented to reside, where he was born, in the provincial city of L , but whose reputation as a profound and original pathologist was widely spread, and whose writings had formed no unimportant part of my special studies. It was during a short holiday excursion, from which he was about to return with renovated vigor, that he had been thus stricken down. The patient so accidentally met with became the founder of my professional fortunes.<br><br>About the Publisher<br><br>Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
