"Two friends, Tonnison and Berregnog, stumble upon an old house in rural Ireland and discover the journal of "the Recluse," an unidentified man who recorded his last days in the house before its destruction.

El viejo señalaba con el cabo de una ennegrecida pipa de arcilla una pequeña isleta a estribor de la proa. -Es aquella, señor -repitió-. La Isleta Middle y pronto tendremos un buen panorama de la ensenada. Aunque no afirmo que la nave esté aún allí, señor, y si lo está, tenga en cuenta que le dije durante...

An adventure of both science fiction and fantasy-one of the great love stories--this is William Hope Hodgson's masterpiece, rewritten for the modern reader. Penned in 1912, The Night Land is considered by many to be a work of genius, but one written in a difficult, archaic style that readers often find impenetrable.
