«El monje» is the Gothic novel by Matthew G. Lewis, published by Círculo de Lectores in hardcover (473 pages, in Spanish).
In eighteenth-century Madrid, Ambrosio, a Capuchin monk admired for his piety, sees his virtue tested by temptations and supernatural intrigues. The novel shows his spiral of degradation and crimes, with a raw look at lust and corruption in an atmosphere of Gothic terror.
Work originally published in 1796; this 1996 edition features a translation by Francisco Torres Oliver and illustrations by Willi Glasauer.
Foundational work of the Gothic genre, for readers of horror and classics of English literature.
