📱 eBook en inglés THE VATICAN CELLARS

Could the Pope have been secretly abducted?

When nineteen-year-old Lafcadio Wluiki learns he is to inherit a French aristocrats fortune, he heads to Rome, where a plot is afoot: ingenious fraudsters have set about convincing their wealthy victims that the pontiff has been imprisoned by freemasons at Castel SantAngelo.

Saving toddlers from burning buildings one minute and committing a shocking, motiveless crime the next, the amoral Lafcadio is one of Nobel-winner André Gides most original creations, and a model for later fictional anti-heroes such as Sartres Meursault and Highsmiths Ripley. A send-up of conventional morality, The Vatican Cellars also carries an enduring warning about how easily we are duped by charming rogues.
