Description
Bruges-la-Morte is a haunting novella about love, grief and murder in a city shrouded in melancholy. A man's obsession with his dead wife becomes entwined with the allure of a young dancer who bears an uncanny resemblance to her.
The story takes place in Bruges, a "dead city" where the author captures the moody atmosphere that mirrors the protagonist's mourning. With its richly metaphorical language and penetrating psychological force, this Belgian symbolist literature draws a picture of loss and longing that will enthrall readers.
