Book Reviews of Melmoth the Wanderer (Penguin Classics)
Book Review: A faustian tale with a rich variety of sub plots.
Summary: 5 Stars
The sable fastness of the ocean's bosom is not blacker than Melmoth's heart! Yet I doubt not it will afford readers the keenest pleasure to discover those crimes of his nature and conscience alike enjoin us to condemn. Doomed by Satanic pact to wander the earth , Melmoth stives to tempt others to share his fate, scouring the dungeons of the Spanish Inquisition, amonst other places, for his victims, seeking those in the direst extremity of suffering- those for whom his bargain will seem an unexpected mercy. I can most heartily recommend this book, as being no less instructive than it is entertaining, and fashioned in such a manner as to appeal to all lovers of the strange.
