Matthew Gregory Lewis (1775 - 1818) was known primarily as a playwright and poet in the circle of Byron and Shelley. However, his real fame was brought to him by the novel "The Monk", written in his youth and became a bestseller and the cause of a loud public scandal. "Monk" - one of the four great books of the first wave of "gothic" literature, which had a direct influence on the "Italian" A. Radcliffe, "Elixirs of Satan" E. T. A. Hoffman and "Melmoth Wanderer" C. R. Metjurin, Brother Ambrosio, a devoutly religious Spanish monk, known for the power of his sermons, is unable to resist the passion for the beautiful Matilda. But under the guise of a girl to the monk appeared an insidious demon sent by Satan himself, not just to tempt the righteous man, but to turn him into a great sinner, violating all God's and human laws. And now Ambrosio faces an agonizing choice: to succumb to the temptation of Darkness or to remain faithful to the difficult but righteous path?
