Hard Cover. Condizione: Near Fine. No Jacket. Includes slipcase and Sandglass insert Number VIII:33. Page ridges faintly foxed. 1967 Hard Cover. xiv, 80 pp. Translated from the German of Richard Voxx by Gustav Adolf Danziger and adapted by Ambrose Bierce. With an introduction by Maurice Valency and illustrations by Michel Ciry. A knot of monks happens upon a gallows in the middle of a dark forest. Hanging from the gallows is a fresh corpse, and underneath the dangling wretch a young woman performs a haunting dance. When Ambrosius falls in love with this outcast woman, his efforts to suppress his natural feelings result in a gradual descent toward calamity and tragedy. Bierce's subtle transformation of the monk Ambrosius from innocent monk to violent zealot is masterfully done, ranking this among Bierce's finest achievements.

One issue of the Heritage Club Sandglass neatly laid-in. Fine. On arriving at a rural monastery, the monk Ambrosius meets a young girl, Benedicta. She is shunned by the local community for being the daughter of the local hangman, but Ambrosius is drawn into a dangerous sympathy with her, and in defiance of the community and his superiors, he starts spending time alone with her. But when her virtue is corrupted by an impetuous young man, the stage is set for a battle between heart, mind, body, spirit, the sins of the past and redemption. Allegedly a rewriting from a lost German original, Ambrose Bierce's 1892 novel reads as a seamless, almost folktale-like masterpiece.
