The Lost Stradivarius

By John Meade Falkner

The Lost Stradivarius (1895), by J. Meade Falkner, is a short novel of ghosts and the
evil that can be invested in an object, in this case an extremely fine Stradivarius
violin. After finding the violin of the title in a hidden compartment in his college rooms,
the protagonist, a wealthy young heir, becomes increasingly secretive as well as
obsessed by a particular piece of music, which seems to have the power to call up
the ghost of its previous owner. Roaming from England to Italy, the story involves
family love, lordly depravity, and the tragedy of obsession. (Summary by Wikipedia)
