Dive into a captivating exploration of the human soul with Temptation of St. Anthony, a vivid psycho-drama that unfolds over a single night in the life of the aged hermit Anthony, who would later be canonized as a saint. As he grapples with profound temptations from gods, magicians, science, gluttony, monstrosities, lust, and death, his claims to sanctity are put to the ultimate test. This remarkable tale is beautifully translated by Lafcadio Hearn, known for his haunting retellings of Japanese ghost stories, and is complemented by striking illustrations from the celebrated symbolist artist Odilon Redon. Experience a work that blends spirituality and artistry in an unforgettable way. - Summary by Tony Addison
