Synopsis
Excerpt from The Devil's Elixir
In the convent of the lime-tree, my father was attacked by severe illness, and as, notwith standing his debility, he would on no account forego any of the prescribed devotional exer cises, his disease rapidly gained ground, till at last, in mysterious conformity to the words of St Bernard, he died consoled and absolved, almost at the same moment in which I came into the world.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book describes the early life of an individual who, at the age of 16, leaves home to study theology at a local college in the town of Konigswald. Growing up, the protagonist is surrounded by a complicated family history and is exposed to both supernatural events and religious teachings. His time is split between his studies, helping at the Church, and spending time in the Capuchin Monastery, an environment which fosters a life of both devotion and contemplation. The book explores the relationship between spirituality, faith, and the perceived existence of a higher power, while also using these ideas to examine the significance of religious rituals and practices. The book offers insights into the role of fate and destiny in shaping human life, and the nature of good and evil. Ultimately, it delves into the protagonist's ongoing struggle to reconcile the desires of the flesh with the demands of the spirit.
