Melmoth the Wanderer

By Charles Maturin and Victor Sage

A Penguin Classic

Created by an Irish clergyman, Melmoth is one of literature’s most fiendish figures. In a dark bargain, he trades his soul for immortality, condemning himself to centuries of tortured wanderings. His story unfolds through the accounts of those whom Melmoth has tempted to assume his pact with the devil, each encounter revealing the depths of human fear and ambition.

Inspired by the Gothic romances of the late eighteenth century, Charles Maturin’s chilling tale elevated the genre to new heights of horror and suspense. Revered by literary giants including Poe, Balzac, Oscar Wilde, and Baudelaire, Melmoth the Wanderer remains a masterful exploration of temptation, damnation, and the shadows that haunt the human soul.
