Bruges-La-Morte

Read Bruges-La-Morte, by Georges Rodenbach (Belgian, 1892) 140pp

A strange and compelling tale, overwhelmed by a sense of gloom and death, whose gothic background is the town of Bruges, complete with pictures. Such tales of men lured from virtuous integrity by delusive obsession appeal to me. I read it in one sitting.
