Krátky popis
'He was deaf to the murmurs of conscience, and resolved to satisfy
his desires at any price.'The Monk (1796) is a sensational story of
temptation and depravity, a masterpiece of Gothic fiction and the
first horror novel in English literature. The respected monk
Ambrosio, the Abbot of a Capuchin monastery in Madrid, is
overwhelmed with desire for a young girl, once having abandoned his
monastic vows he begins a terrible descent into immorality and
violence. His appalling fall from grace embraces blasphemy, black
magic, torture, rape, and murder, and places his very soul in
jeopardy.Lewis's extraordinary tale drew on folklore, legendary
ghost stories, and contemporary dread inspired by the terrors of
the French Revolution. Its excesses shocked the reading public and
it was condemned as obscene. The novel continues to beguile and
shock readers today with its gruesome catalogue of iniquities,
while at the same time giving a profound insight into the deep
anxieties experienced by British citizens during one of the most
turbulent periods in the nation's history.ABOUT THE SERIES: For
