A Strange Story is an extraordinary testament to the belief in and fascination with the Occult and spiritualism that was prevalent in nineteenth century society, and reflects Bulwer Lyttons own particular views. The young hero, Doctor Allen Fenwick, is utterly unable to counteract the malign influence of the sinister mesmerist Margrave over his beloved, the mystical Lilian, by scientific methods - will this lead him to put aside his rationalist creed and embrace the notion of a world beyond our own? This new edition brings together both the original volumes, and has been completely re-typeset...

Zanoni, esta basada en un sueno del autor, y cuenta la historia de un miembro de una sociedad secreta de inmortales que obtienen esta cualidad tomando un elixir. Dedican estos su vida a hacer el bien, a estudiar y a no interferir en la vida de los mortales, salvo tal vez en ocasiones para preservarlos de si mismos. Zanoni comete el error de enamorarse de una mortal, Viola Pisani, idolo de la opera napolitana. Trata de evitarlo, pero se ve irremediablemente ligado a ella, aunque sabe que esto supone su fin, el fin de su inmortalidad."
