Spiridion

by George Sand

Overview

Le moine Spiridion, désillusionné à la fois par le catholicisme et le protestantisme, créa une nouvelle religion, mais le manuscrit dans lequel il le présentait allait littéralement à la tombe avec lui: il était caché dans sa tombe. L’esprit de Spiridion est son élève, le père Alexey, mais il manque du courage – ou de la vraie foi – pour obtenir le manuscrit. Cette mission est destinée au jeune moine Angel, à qui le père Alexei raconte l’histoire de Spyridion. Dans le roman, il y a une intrigue fascinante, des passions orageuses, des secrets et des éléments de mysticisme – tout cela pour lequel le lecteur aime le travail de George Sand.

Editorial Reviews

"This is an excellent translation of a tale of the supernatural by a major French author. With her searing critique of Catholicism and its labyrinthine structures, Sand in Spiridion deconstructs her culture in a way similar to what Mary Shelley has done in Frankenstein. Both works are effective as horror stories, but both can also sustain serious academic inquiry, yielding still deeper rewards. Beyond academe, serious students of religion will also find that Spiridion's subject matter raises provocative theological questions." — Lynn Hoggard, translator of Nelida by Marie d'Agoult
