Vathek

William Beckford

First published 1786

The powerful Caliph Vathek abandons restraint in pursuit of forbidden knowledge and supernatural power. William Beckford sends him through a strange, darkly comic tale of appetite, temptation, spectacle, and the ruinous belief that every desire ought to be satisfied.
