Book excerpt: 'In one moment, every drop of blood in my body was brought to a stop ... There, as if it had that moment sprung out of the earth ... stood the figure of a solitary Woman, dressed from head to foot in white' The Woman in White famously opens with Walter Hartright's eerie encounter on a moonlit London road. Engaged as a drawing master to the beautiful Laura Fairlie, Walter is drawn into the sinister intrigues of Sir Percival Glyde and his 'charming' friend Count Fosco, who has a taste for white mice, vanilla bonbons and poison. Pursuing questions of identity and insanity along the paths and corridors of English country houses and the madhouse, The Woman in White is the first and most influential of the Victorian genre that combined Gothic horror with psychological realism.

Download or read book A Young Girl s Diary written by Sigmund Freud and published by BoD - Books on Demand. This book was released on 2023-10-08 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A Young Girl's Diary" (also known as "The Diary of Anna O." or "Case Histories II") is not written by Sigmund Freud. Instead, it is a case study and collection of clinical notes by Dr. Josef Breuer, a prominent Austrian physician, and psychiatrist, and Sigmund Freud, the founder of psychoanalysis. The diary belongs to a patient named Anna O., whose real name was Bertha Pappenheim. Bertha Pappenheim was a young woman who suffered from a range of psychological and physical symptoms, including hysteria and what was then referred to as "conversion disorder." She was one of the first patients to undergo psychoanalysis, and her treatment with Dr. Breuer laid the foundation for many psychoanalytic concepts developed by Freud and others. The diary is a compilation of Bertha's thoughts, experiences, and emotions during her treatment, as recorded by Dr. Breuer. It includes her descriptions of her symptoms, dreams, and associations, providing valuable insights into the early practice of psychoanalysis. While "A Young Girl's Diary" is not a work by Sigmund Freud, it is an important historical document in the development of psychoanalysis and the understanding of psychological disorders. Freud later built upon the insights gained from cases like Anna O.'s in his own works, such as "Studies on Hysteria" and "The Interpretation of Dreams."

The Woman in White is an epistolary novel written by Wilkie Collins in 1859, serialized in 1859–1860, and first published in book form in 1860. It is considered to be among the first mystery novels and is widely regarded as one of the first in the genre of 'sensation novels'. The story is sometimes considered an early example of detective fiction with the hero, Walter Hartright, employing many of the sleuthing techniques of later private detectives. The Moonstone (1868) by Wilkie Collins is an epistolary novel, generally considered the first detective novel in the English language. The Moonstone is about the disappearance of a precious diamond called "the Moonstone", and the novel is a collection of eyewitness accounts by different characters who know something about its disappearance. The idea was for the novel itself to be like a collection of evidence so that the readers could be put in the position of the detective. The Haunted Hotel: A Mystery of Modern Venice is a Wilkie Collins's ghost story was set in 1860 and published in book form with 'My Lady's Money'. The Haunted Hotel: a tale of a haunting - or the tale of a crime? The ghost of Lord Montberry seems to be haunting the Palace Hotel in Venice. Montberry's beautiful-yet-terrifying wife, the Countess Narona, and her erstwhile brother are the center of the terror that fills the Palace Hotel. Are their malefactions at the root of the haunting - or is there something darker, something much more unknowable at work? William Wilkie Collins (1824 – 1889) was an English novelist, playwright, and author of short stories. His best-known works are The Woman in White, The Moonstone, Armadale, and No Name. Collins developed a new way of writing suspenseful novels: instead of having a central narrator who tells the story, Collins composed his novels as a series of first-person narratives, so the point of view in the novels is always changing.
