Summary "De Ziekte der Verbeelding" by Hendrik Conscience is a novel written in the late 19th century. The narrative opens in a remote forest in Limburg, where a dilapidated castle named Wildenborg serves as the backdrop for an unfolding tale of mystery and foreboding. The story features Jakob Mispels, an elderly gardener, and his counterpart, Peternelle, as they grapple with supernatural events and omens that suggest impending doom for their master, the reclusive Reimond. The themes of isolation, the supernatural, and the psychological intricacies of fear seem to permeate the narrative. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to a haunting landscape that sets an ominous tone. The narrative quickly shifts to the gardener's home, where he and Peternelle obsess over the strange occurrences surrounding Wildenborg and their troubled master, who is cursed with knowledge that he will soon die. Their fears are compounded by the unusual behavior of the castle's pets and whispers of darker forces at play. This opening segment establishes a tense atmosphere, as Jakob's superstitions clash with Peternelle's more pragmatic approach, hinting at the psychological and emotional struggles that will unfold as they await their master's fate.
