Melmot the Wanderer

"Melmot the Wanderer" is an undisputed literary monument of its era and one of the most significant works of the gothic genre. The archetypal story of a man who sold his soul to the devil for immortality and is doomed to wander the earth for centuries in search of someone to whom he can pass on his gift and his curse is undoubtedly inspired by the legend of the Eternal Jew and is characterized by a stunning scale and complexity of the narrative.
For this edition, Alina Nemirova, the author of one of the best adaptations of "The Lord of the Rings," has made not just a new, the first translation into Russian in nearly half a century, but has substantially adapted the structure and style of the novel, bringing it closer to the canon of modern horror literature. The book is adorned with wonderful atmospheric illustrations by the esteemed artist of the Russian Federation, Professor of VGIK Alexander Dudin, which were created back in the 90s, but truly mystically awaited their reader for a full 30 years.
