A Mortal Antipathy is a novel written by Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr., a renowned American physician, poet, and essayist. The book is a psychological thriller that explores the complex relationship between two characters, a doctor named John Sterne and a young woman named Clara Vaughan.The story begins with Sterne being called to Vaughan's bedside after she falls ill. Sterne is immediately struck by her beauty and intelligence, but as he spends more time with her, he begins to develop a deep-seated antipathy towards her. Despite his feelings, Sterne continues to treat Vaughan, and as she recovers, they become close friends.However, as time goes on, Sterne's antipathy towards Vaughan grows stronger, and he becomes obsessed with the idea of destroying her. He begins to plot against her, using his medical knowledge to manipulate her health and ultimately putting her life in danger.As the plot unfolds, the reader is taken on a thrilling journey through the dark and twisted mind of John Sterne. The novel is a masterful exploration of human psychology and the destructive power of obsession, and it has become a classic of American literature.1886.
