Summary

Set in Oxford and Naples during the 1840s, The Lost Stradivarius is a tale of demonic possession and of the terrible price paid by "those who would exalt art at the expense of everything else." Though long recognized as a classic and gripping story of the occult, it is also a work which touches the "decadent" years of the nineteenth century at sensitive points: the psychical, the moral, and the aesthetic.

Critic reviews

"This precise, feeling, and thoughtful reading of Falkner's work stands solidly on its own without sound effects as Barkman and Roberts bring depth and elegance to this sad, mysterious saga." ( Booklist)
