Monk is a Gothic novel by English writer Matthew Gregory Lewis, first published in 1796. This novel, known for its gloom and frankness, has become one of the most scandalous and influential works of Gothic literature. The plot of the novel tells about the fall of Ambrosio, a pious monk from Madrid, whose virtue is gradually destroyed under the influence of temptations. Succumbing to them, he commits a series of horrific crimes, including seduction, incest and murder. His downfall is based on pride, hypocrisy and abuse of power. The novel explores the depths of the human soul, showing how immorality and evil can destroy even the most seemingly pious people. Lewis uses elements of the supernatural, including devilish powers, ghosts and curses, to enhance the atmosphere of horror and despair. The central theme of the work is the conflict between reason and passions, religion and temptation. "Monk" has caused a lot of controversy due to its cruelty, sexual overtones and criticism of religious hypocrisy. Despite this, the novel had a significant impact on the development of Gothic literature and inspired subsequent generations of authors. "Monk" remains one of the most striking examples of literature exploring the dark sides of human nature and the tragic consequences of moral decline. The text of the novel is presented in English without translation and adaptation.
