sans doute le plus connu des ouvrages qui composent ce qu'il est convenu d'appeler "la littérature de la famine". William Carleton, en empruntant à la tradition "gothique" les traits propres à noircir encore une réalité tragique, y décrit les effets dévastateurs de la Grande Famine de 1845, et se fait le porte-parole d'un monde rural confronté à la perspective de son propre anéantissement. C'est donc à une traversée de ce monde qu'il convie son lecteur, en le plongeant d'emblée dans une Irlande de cauchemar où les éléments déchaînés semblent bien être la manifestation du courroux de Dieu contre ses créatures [...]. L'intrigue, aussi noire que la période où elle se déroule, tourne autour de Donnel Dhu, le "Prophète noir", sorte de charlatan maléfique, type fréquent dans l'Irlande du XIXe siècle.
