Product Description
by Daniel Defoe (Author)
Daniel Defoe, author of "Robinson Crusoe," presents a fascinating and enduring account in "A True Relation of the Apparition of one Mrs. Veal." This classic ghost story details the alleged appearance of Mrs. Veal to Mrs. Bargrave in Canterbury the day after her death in 1705.
More than just a chilling tale, this work delves into themes of death, the spiritual realm, and religious consolation. Mrs. Veal's apparition purportedly encourages the reading of Drelincourt's book offering comfort against the fears of death, adding a layer of spiritual reflection to the supernatural narrative. A compelling example of early 18th-century writing on apparitions and the afterlife, this case study offers a unique glimpse into historical beliefs and anxieties surrounding mortality. This meticulously prepared print edition preserves the original text, allowing readers to experience Defoe's gripping account and explore its enduring themes of faith and the supernatural.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
