Summary

"Manor" by Karl Heinrich Ulrichs is a short story published in 1884. Set in the Faroe Islands, it tells of a romantic bond between two young men, Har and Manor, that begins after Manor rescues Har from drowning. When tragedy strikes and Manor dies at sea, he returns from the grave to visit Har each night.
