Beschreibung zu „Only a Ghost“

Whispers in the literary realm speak of a cryptic tale known as "Only a Ghost!" penned by none other than Irenæus the Deacon himself. But hark! This is no ordinary travelogue, for it is a work of humor and fiction that was brought to life by Sabine Baring-Gould. It is said that the spirit of Irenæus, once belonging to the church of 4th century Jerusalem, haunts the streets of the "most religious city of the world" in the year 1870. Within the pages of this eerie masterpiece, Baring-Gould reveals the spine-tingling account of Irenæus' bewilderment at the state of Christianity - one that is fraught with hypocrisy, superficiality, and superstition. And yet, as fate would have it, the unsuspecting citizens of London also find themselves awestruck by Irenæus' unwarranted thoughts.

Über Sabine Baring-Gould

Sabine Baring-Gould (1834-1924), a scholar, Reverend, and author, produced more than 1,240 publications during his lifetime! He is perhaps best known as a hymn writer (he wrote the hymns “Onward, Christian Soldiers” and “Now the Day is Over,” among many others), but he definitely considered his crowning achievement to be his collections of folk songs from the townspeople of Cornwall and Devon. His studies of folklore and folk music actually lead to the creation of The Book of Were-Wolves (1865), the book where “The Werewolf of the North” was originally published. The Book of Were-Wolves remains an important study of lycanthropy even today.
