Monk
9.99 €
The Monk is a notorious novel, especially considering that its author, Matthew Gregory Lewis, was only 19 years old and a member of the British Parliament at the time of its publication. It is a novel completely unlike anything England had seen before its publication in 1796. Sinister and disturbing, it radically changed Gothic literature with its lurid tone and frank depiction of taboo subjects: witchcraft, sex, anticlericalism, murder, incest, the excesses of the Spanish Inquisition, and Satanism.
Besides presenting the reader with a parade of all manner of perversions within the pages of The Monk, it also contained anti-Christian arguments worthy of Nietzsche, such as the notion that "even in the annals of a brothel it would be difficult to find a greater selection of obscene expressions than in Holy Scripture."
