Entre las sólidas y antiguas paredes de piedra del Castillo de Otranto se esconde una milenaria profecía,o ¿quizás una maldición? Manfred debe enfrentarse a los designios del destino para conservar su linaje,tras la inexplicable muerte de su hijo Conrad. ¿Qué misterios se esconden entre las antiguas murallas deesta antigua fortaleza? Esta apasionante novela de misterios y amores atravesados por el hado de la familiay por extraños eventos sobrenaturales es considerada como la piedra fundacional de la llamada ’Novela Gótica’.Su autor, el británico Horace Walpole, fue reconocido en parte por su carrera política en una época muyturbulenta del siglo XVIII, pero también por ser de los primeros autores revivir el género gótico. 10
