The Devils
Author: John Whiting
Publisher: New York : Hill and Wang
ISBN:
Category : Demoniac possession
Languages : en
Pages : 132
Book Description
A hit in London and New York, The Devils offers a provocative look at lust and religious hysteria in a small seventeenth provincial town. The amorous exploits of the handsome, libertine Priest -- Father Urbain Grandier -- whispers through the cloistered St. Ursula's Convent. The young but deformed Prioress, Sister Jeanne of the Angels, becomes obsessed by this man and his romantic adventures -- an obsession that causes her to offer the Priest the position of Spiritual Advisor to the order. When Grandier politely declines the situation, Sister Jeanne's initial disappointment dissolves into a possessive malice -- and she charges him with diabolism... filling the minds of her Nuns, through the powers of Satan, with obscenity and sensual desire! For the clerics who are jealous of the Priest, for the laity who disapprove his luxury and for Cardinal Reichelieu who resents his growing political influence, the hysterical passion of the writhing Nuns becomes the sword that destroys Grandier... as a man and a Priest. And the woman who began this series of bizzare events sees him for the first time as his battered, bruised body is carried to be burned at the stake... The Devils is a powerful, deeply moving drama -- and its timeless theme of one human-being's virtual destruction by another is brilliantly developd. It shocks and batters the conscience without once losing its hypnotic effect on the reader.
