Uncle Silas, subtitled "A Tale of Bartram Haugh", is an 1864 Victorian Gothic mystery-thriller novel by the Irish writer J. Sheridan Le Fanu. Despite Le Fanu resisting its classification as such, the novel has also been hailed as a work of sensation fiction by contemporary reviewers and modern critics alike. It is an early example of the locked-room mystery subgenre, rather than a novel of the supernatural (despite a few creepily ambiguous touches), but does show a strong interest in the occult and in the ideas of Emanuel Swedenborg, a Swedish scientist, philosopher and Christian mystic.

  • Uncle Silas, (L'oncle Silas) és una novel·la gòtica de Sheridan Le Fanu. Escrita en 1864 a partir d'un relat breu anterior del mateix autor, és una de les obres més conegudes de l'autor. El seu èxit ha propiciat l'adaptació al cinema en 1947 i la seva influència és visible en moltes novel·les del gènere gòtic posterior. (ca)
  • Lo Zio Silas (Uncle Silas) è un romanzo gotico vittoriano scritto dal romanziere anglo-irlandese Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu. Al suo interno si possono ravvisare elementi di thriller, ma il romanzo è noto anche come uno dei primi esempi di “enigma della camera chiusa”. Non è propriamente un romanzo del soprannaturale (nonostante un paio di punti ambigui), ma dimostra un forte interesse per l'occulto e per le idee di Swedenborg. (it)
