The Monk
Title statement The Monk Issue data Saga Egmont 2022 Saga Egmont Phys.des. 431 ISBN 9990003840073 9788728117972 Annotation A gothic masterpiece of sheer sensationalism that explores sexual desire and abuse of power.Savaged by critics for its blasphemy and obscenity, The Monk shows the diabolical decline of Ambrosio, a worthy Capuchin superior who is tempted by Matilda--a young girl who has entered his monastery disguised as a boy--and eventually succumbs to magic, murder, incest, and torture. A brilliant examination of violent and erotic impulses, The Monk was greatly admired by the Marquis de Sade, as well as Byron, Poe, Flaubert, Hawthorne, and Emily Bronte. Catal.org.
