book
&#8216Fecould sustain the glance of his eye, at once fiery and
penetrating&#8217avged by critics for its supposed profanity
and obscenity, and bought in large numbers by readers eager
to see whether it lived up to its lurid reputation, The Monk
became a succ&#232de scandale when it was published in
1796 &#8211not least because its author was a member of
parliament and only twenty years old. It recounts the diabolical
decline of Ambrosio, a Capuchin superior, who succumbs first
to temptations offered by a young girl who has entered his
monastery disguised as a boy, and continues his descent with
increasingly depraved acts of sorcery, murder, incest and
torture. Combining sensationalism with acute psychological
insight, this masterpiece of Gothic fiction is a powerful
exploration of how violent and erotic impulses can break
through the barriers of social and moral restraint.This edition is
based on the first edition of 1796, which appeared before
Lewis&#8217revisions to avoid charges of blasphemy. In his
introduction, Christopher MacLachlan discusses the
novel&#8217place within the Gothic genre, and its themes of
sexual desire and the abuse of power.For more than seventy
years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic
literature in the English-speaking world. With more than 1,700
titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the
best works throughout history and across genres and
disciplines. Readers trust the series to provide authoritative
texts enhanced by introductions and notes by distinguished
scholars and contemporary authors, as well as up-to-date
translations by award-winning translators.
