Synopsis "El Monje (in Spanish)"

"El Monje" es una novela gótica escrita por el británico Matthew G. Lewis (1775-1818) y está considerada por muchos como una obra pionera en su temática y como una de las novelas góticas más escabrosas y transgresoras del género. Usada por autores posteriores como inspiración, "El Monje" cuenta la historia del joven monje Ambrosio, cuya vida ha transcurrido siempre entre las paredes de la Abadía en la que fue abandonado de pequeño. Aquí, asistimos como espectadores a una historia teñida de oscuridad y con una batalla entre la dualidad del bien y del mal, escenificada por unas fuertes creencias morales y las dulces tentaciones. Una obra, sin duda, que tiene bien merecido su lugar en la historia de la literatura universal.

Matthew Gregory Lewis was an English playwright and novelist who at the age of nineteen published his masterpiece: _The Monk_, which was so extraordinarily successful that he began to be known as Monk Lewis. Influenced by the novelist Ann Radcliffe and the German literature of his time, _The Monk_ is one of the undisputed peaks of the Gothic novel. The violence, horror, and eroticism fascinated and scandalized society equally at the time. Its pages tell the story of Ambrosio, a supposedly virtuous abbot who is tempted by the devil in the guise of a maiden. H. P. Lovecraft said of it that it is “a masterpiece of true nightmare whose general Gothic elements are seasoned with a host of macabre features.” Lewis wrote other interesting works, such as _The Castle Spectre, Tales of Terror, and Romantic Tales;_ but none achieved the popular recognition of The Monk.
