The Lifted Veil
(eAudiobook)
Description
The Lifted Veil by George Eliot is a novella that delves into themes of clairvoyance, isolation, and the darker aspects of human nature. The story is narrated by Latimer, who is both introspective and troubled, revealing his experiences as he grapples with his unusual abilities and the consequences they bring.Latimer begins his narrative as he anticipates his impending death, using his remaining time to recount his life and the peculiar powers he possesses. From a young age, he experiences precognitive visions and a form of telepathy that allows him to glimpse into the thoughts and emotions of others. Initially, he finds some pleasure in these abilities; however, they soon become a source of torment as he discovers the often grim realities of those around him.The plot thickens as Latimer becomes infatuated with Bertha Grant, his brother Alfred's fiancée. His obsession grows when he realizes that her mind remains largely inaccessible to him.
