Résumé
Amerykański biznesmen Hiram Otis wraz z żoną i trójką dzieci przenosi się do Europy. Wprowadzają się do angielskiego zamczyska, należącego od pokoleń do rodu Kenterwilów. Wokół posiadłości krążą niepokojące pogłoski. Podobno od kilkuset lat rezydencję zamieszkuje duch pierwszego właściciela. Amerykanie zdają się nie wierzyć w paranormalne opowieści i początkowo ignorują niezwykłe wydarzenia. Nie wiedzą, że ich obecność zakłóca spokój zjawy. Niedługo później znika Virginia, córka Otisów... Oscar Wilde (1856-1900) – angielski prozaik, poeta i dramatopisarz irlandzkiego pochodzenia. Czołowy przedstawiciel modernizmu, zwolennik skrajnego estetyzmu. Pisał poezję, nowele i opowiadania. Wielką popularnością cieszyły się jego salonowe komedie obyczajowe. Jednak prawdziwą sławę przyniosła mu powieść „Portret Doriana Greya". Wilde był znany z ekstrawaganckiego stylu życia, podziwiano go za finezję stylu. Pod koniec życia został ofiarą homofobicznego prawa – wytoczono mu proces za homoseksualizm i skazano na dwa lata ciężkich robót. Zmarł w przytułku dla ubogich w Paryżu.

Oscar Wilde was a prominent figure in the aestheticism movement, engaging in various literary activities such as publishing poems and lecturing on art. He gained fame with his only novel, "The Picture of Dorian Gray," which incorporated themes of decadence and beauty. Wilde also wrote successful society comedies and was one of the most renowned playwrights of late-Victorian London. However, his fame was overshadowed by a scandal when he prosecuted the Marquess of Queensberry for libel, leading to his own arrest and trial for gross indecency. Wilde was convicted and sentenced to two years' hard labor. During his imprisonment, he wrote his last work, "The Ballad of Reading Gaol." Wilde's life was marked by personal tragedies, including the death of his sister and the loss of his reputation. He left a lasting legacy as a writer and is remembered for his wit and literary contributions.

I began this journey a few years ago as a medium. Never in my wildest dreams would I have thought that would lead me to be able to hear G-D, Jesus and some Arch Angels. I started getting messages that I needed to go out on the beach at sunrise, and to bring my tablet, more commonly known as a notebook. I would walk up and down the beach thinking I would see something like the burning bush, but that didnt happen. It couldnt be as simple as that. I needed to sit down with my tablet and start writing what I heard. I soon realized I was going to have to work hard for this. Almost every morning I would sit down either at the beach or later in my house, to listen to the great spirits tell me their wisdom. It would take a full year to put together this book. I asked G-D why me? Im not a bible scholar or anyone of great importance. Im just an average housewife and mother. He told me the meek shall inherent the earth.Dori Green Morris
