Alraune - Translated by Robert Jordan G.. Book Two of the Frank Braun Trilogy (en Inglés) - Robert Jordan G.;Hanns Heinz Ewers

Some things are not meant to be created.

In a world where science dares to trespass into the forbidden, a brilliant but reckless experiment gives birth to something neither wholly human nor wholly monstrous. She is called Alraune-beautiful, irresistible... and utterly without a soul.

Men fall before her without understanding why. Fortunes rise and crumble in her wake. Love turns feverish, obsessive, and fatal. Wherever she walks, desire follows-and death is never far behind.

But is she the cause... or merely the mirror of what lies buried deep within the human heart?

As one man is drawn ever closer into her intoxicating orbit, he begins to see the truth behind her creation-and the terrible cost of loving something born outside the laws of nature. For Alraune does not belong to life... and she does not forgive those who try to escape her.

A haunting tale of obsession, forbidden knowledge, and the thin line between creation and damnation, Alraune is a masterpiece of dark imagination-where beauty conceals horror, and desire leads only one way: downward.
