His stature was lofty, and his features uncommonly handsome. His Nose was aquiline, his eyes large black and sparkling, and his dark brows almost joined together. His complexion was of a deep but clear Brown; Study and watching had entirely deprived his cheek of colour. Tranquillity reigned upon his smooth unwrinkled forehead; and Content, expressed upon every feature, seemed to announce the Man equally unacquainted with cares and crimes. He bowed himself with humility to the audience: Still there was a certain severity in his look and manner that inspired universal awe, and few could sustain the glance of his eye at once fiery and penetrating. Such was Ambrosio, Abbot of the Capuchins, and surnamed, “The Man of Holiness”.’SynopsisThe novel tells the story of a monk named Ambrosio, who is led into a life of sin by Matilda, a woman who has disguised herself as a man to get into the monastery. To avoid being tortured by the Spanish Inquisition, Ambrosio eventually sells his soul to the devil. Whereupon his trials and tribulations have only just begun.A Stunning Reprint"A stunning reprint" At Ginger Classics we take every step possible to ensure the original integrity of this book has been upheld to its highest standard.
