"Shall I die in my bed decently and as an English gentleman should die; or, in one last walk on the Mall, will my soul be wrenched from me to take its place for ever and ever by the side of that ghastly phantasm? Shall I return to my old lost allegiance in the next world, or shall I meet Agnes loathing her and bound to her side through all eternity? Shall we two hover over the scene of our lives till the end of Time? As the day of my death draws nearer, the intense horror that all living flesh feels towards escaped spirits from beyond the grave grows more and more powerful. It is an awful thing to go down quick among the dead with scarcely one-half of your life completed. It is a thousand times more awful to wait as I do in your midst, for I know not what unimaginable terror."
This was an interesting literary read. I had to read it for my literature class, and have to say the meaning behind it why the main character sees the rickshaw is interesting. I also liked learning about how British people saw the colonization of India during the 19th century. Overall, it was nice, but again I don't like older works.
Non amo particolarmente il genere letterario del racconto, ma ammetto di aver letto con piacere questo piccolo volumetto. Più del contenuto, ad avermi colpita favorevolmente è la prosa dell'autore, pulita ma non banale.
