About this listen

The story is about the narrator's encounter with Mr. Augustus Bedloe, a young man of mysterious origins and peculiar physical traits, who becomes the subject of fascination and curiosity. Bedloe, who is under the care of Dr. Templeton, a physician practiced in magnetic remedies, is subject to neuralgic attacks and uses morphine habitually. During one of his solitary excursions into the Ragged Mountains, Bedloe experiences a vivid and intense vision or dream in which he seems to be transported to an Eastern city resembling Benares, where he witnesses and participates in historical events from the late 18th century. His experience mirrors real events from the past, linked to Dr. Templeton's life, further blurring the lines between reality and dreams, as Templeton reveals a watercolor resembling Bedloe dated to the same time. The narrative culminates with Bedloe's tragic death from an accidental poisoning, showcasing the intertwining of the past and present, reality, and the supernatural.
