<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><i>Fatal Revenge; Or, the Family of Montorio</i> (1807) is a novel by Charles Maturin. Published under the psueudonym Dennis Jasper Murphy, <i>Fatal Revenge; Or, the Family of Montorio</i> was Maturin's debut novel. Largely ignored by critics and readers, it managed to draw attention from Sir Walter Scott, who supported Maturin's efforts and encouraged him to pursue a career as a writer. Despite its humble beginnings, <i>Fatal Revenge; Or, the Family of Montorio</i> is considered a masterpiece of Gothic romance. "Their palaces were haunted by groups of monks, and magicians, and alchymists, and astrologers; and amid the most superstitious state of the country of superstition, the House of Montorio was distinguished by weak and gloomy credulity." At the siege of Barcelona in 1697, two brothers of mysterious origin fight bravely and gain the respect of their fellow officers. When the fighting has ceased, they are counted among the dead. Gathering his subordinates, their commandant, "acquainted with their name, and their country, and their misfortunes," begins to tell the story of their cursed family. <i>Fatal Revenge; Or, the Family of Montorio</i> is a story of mystery and terror that engages with timeless themes of loyalty, fantasy, and fate. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Charles Maturin's <i>Fatal Revenge; Or, the Family of Montorio</i> is a classic of Irish literature reimagined for modern readers.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br><p>Following the siege of Barcelona in 1697, an Italian officer recounts the strange story of a distinguished family from Naples.
