Description

Description from Project Gutenberg

"Melmoth the Wanderer, Vol. 2" by Charles Robert Maturin is a Gothic novel published in 1820. The story follows a cursed scholar who sold his soul to the devil for 150 extra years of life, now desperately searching for someone to take over his demonic pact. Through nested tales of madness, imprisonment, forbidden love, and supernatural encounters, the novel reveals Melmoth's dark influence across continents and generations. From Spanish monasteries to remote island paradises, his presence brings tragedy wherever he wanders, as his extended life draws toward its fateful end. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
