Publisher's Synopsis
The Human Chord is a novel by Algernon Blackwood, first published in 1910. The story follows the life of a successful musician, Michael Fane, who is haunted by the memory of a woman he once loved and lost. Fane's pursuit of artistic perfection and his desire for a deeper connection with his audience lead him on a journey of self-discovery and spiritual awakening.As Fane's fame and fortune grow, he becomes increasingly isolated and detached from the world around him. His obsession with his music and his unresolved feelings for his former lover threaten to consume him, until a chance encounter with a mysterious stranger sets him on a path towards redemption.The Human Chord explores themes of love, loss, and the search for meaning in a world that often seems chaotic and meaningless. Blackwood's vivid descriptions of the natural world and his exploration of the spiritual realm make this novel a haunting and thought-provoking read.And, further, he was still haunted with the feeling that other ""beings"" occupied certain portions of the rambling mansion, and more than once recently he had wakened in the night with an idea, carried over from dreams possibly, that the corridor outside his bedroom was moving and alive with footsteps.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
