St. Leon

Sinopse

Ainda não disponível em português — exibindo a versão em inglês.

St. Leon: A Tale of the Sixteenth Century (1799) is eighteenth-century British philosopher William Godwin's fourth novel. Following the success of Things as They Are; or, The Adventures of Caleb Williams (1794), Godwin searched for a topic that would capture his imagination as much as his earlier work. St. Leon is the tale of a French aristocrat, Count Reginald de St. Leon, who loses his wealth gambling and experiences guilt that drives him almost to madness. He accepts the secret of the elixir of life and of the power of multiplying wealth from a dying stranger, ultimately causing him to wander separated from humankind.
