The series ‘Mysterious Stories’ are collections of works of short prose written in the XIX - the first half of the XX century. Stories in which fiction cannot be distinguished from fact, dream from reality, lie from truth, fantasy from joke, and the game of sick imagination from reality, have always enjoyed success among readers. In the Romantic era, dramatic plots about gloomy castles, dark dungeons and ghosts - Gothic literature - were popular. Writers of the mid-19th century added to its rich traditions a new approach to the mysterious: artistic explorations of the human psyche, its possibilities and oddities. The mysterious and inexplicable remained in demand even in the era of philosophical scepticism, the flourishing of science and the triumph of technology. The collection includes stories and novellas by the classics of French literature: O. de Balzac, George Sand, G. de Maupassant, P. Merimee and others.
