Monk. Lewis M.G.

One of the most interesting works of English -speaking literature of the late XVIII - early XIX centuries. The gloomy, performed by mystical horror is a novel about the clergyman who sold the soul to the devil for the sake of the woman’s love - and step by step in a step, but the path that leads to an eternal curse. Gothic novel - in all his tragic splendor, with all his true baroque literary excesses. The novel is bizarre, attractive, bewitching - read with unusual interest in our days.
