Novel of novels. Probably the origin of all great novels (in terms of number of pages). A plot that moves between the shadows of a conventual life. Where man is deprived of his creative facet, where the spirit is reduced to a kind of slogan like "ora et labora", only evil and the destructive part of the being can emerge to take over the reins of the soul.
