Title: A mere slice of Melmoth the Wanderer.
Review: This is not a complete edition of the gothic tale, Melmoth The Wanderer.It is a condensed, abridged and truncated version of the first few chapters. The prose has been grossly abridged. Description that enhanced Melmoth's desperate search for salvation has been cut, and the dialogue has been simplified, basically dumbed down for the modern reader. Thanks, but no thanks. The original tale has 39 chapters of tales within tales, so this e-book is a great disappointment.One redeeming quality; it does include a translation of Balzac's short story, Melmoth Reconciled. I would recommend this e-book for that story alone. As for Melmoth the Wanderer, I would recommend waiting for ane-edition of Maturin's original manuscript.
