About the book

A Gothic novel about Ambrosio, a celebrated and pious Spanish monk in Madrid. His reputation is tested by temptation and by the arrival of a mysterious new novice.

From the text

“Methinks, Oh! vain ill-judging Book, I see thee cast a wishful look, Where reputations won and lost are In famous row called Paternoster.” The Monk · Matthew Gregory Lewis

Scarcely had the Abbey Bell tolled for five minutes, and already was the Church of the Capuchins thronged with Auditors.

수도원 종이 울린 지 5분도 채 되지 않아 카푸친회 성당은 참관객들로 가득 찼습니다.

Do not encourage the idea that the Crowd was assembled either from motives of piety or thirst of information.

군중이 경건한 마음이나 지식에 대한 갈증 때문에 모였다는 생각을 부추기지 마십시오.

But very few were influenced by those reasons; and in a city where superstition reigns with such despotic sway as in Madrid, to seek for true devotion would be a fruitless attempt.

그러나 그러한 이유에 영향을 받은 사람은 극히 드물었으며, 마드리드처럼 미신이 맹렬하게 지배하는 도시에서는 진정한 신앙을 찾는 것은 헛된 시도일 것입니다.

The Audience now assembled in the Capuchin Church was collected by various causes, but all of them were foreign to the ostensible motive.

지금 카푸친 교회에 모인 청중은 여러 가지 이유로 모였지만, 그 모든 이유는 표면적인 동기와는 무관했습니다.

The Women came to show themselves, the Men to see the Women: Some were attracted by curiosity to hear an Orator so celebrated; Some came because they had no better means of employing their time till the play began; Some, from being assured that it would be impossible to find places in the Church; and one half of Madrid was brought thither by expecting to meet the other half.

여자들은 자신들을 드러내러 왔고, 남자들은 여자들을 보러 왔습니다. 어떤 이들은 유명한 연설가의 이야기를 듣고 싶어 호기심에 이끌렸고, 어떤 이들은 연극이 시작될 때까지 시간을 보낼 다른 방법이 없어서 왔으며, 어떤 이들은 교회에 자리가 없을 것이라는 확신 때문에 왔고, 마드리드 사람들의 절반은 나머지 절반을 만나기 위해 그곳에 왔습니다.

The only persons truly anxious to hear the Preacher were a few antiquated devotees, and half a dozen rival Orators, determined to find fault with and ridicule the discourse.

전도자의 말을 진정으로 듣고 싶어 했던 사람은 몇몇 구시대적인 신도들과 설교를 깎아내리고 조롱하려는 경쟁적인 연설가 여섯 명뿐이었습니다.

As to the remainder of the Audience, the Sermon might have been omitted altogether, certainly without their being disappointed, and very probably without their perceiving the omission.

나머지 청중에 대해서는 설교를 완전히 생략해도 그들이 실망하지 않았을 것이며, 생략된 사실조차 알아차리지 못했을 가능성이 매우 높습니다.

Whatever was the occasion, it is at least certain that the Capuchin Church had never witnessed a more numerous assembly.

어떤 상황이었든 간에, 적어도 카푸친 교회가 이처럼 많은 사람들이 모인 것을 본 적은 없었다는 것은 확실합니다.
