Description:
Matthew Lewis's Gothic masterpiece, depicting a holy man slowly becoming entangled in a web of sin, The Monk is edited with an introduction by Christopher MacLachlan in Penguin Classics.
Savaged by critics for its blasphemy and obscenity, particularly since the author was a Member of Parliament, The Monk soon attracted thousands of readers keen to see if this Gothic novel lived up to its lurid reputation. With acute psychological insight, Lewis shows the diabolical decline of Ambrosio, a worthy superior of the Capuchins of Madrid who is tempted by Matilda, a young girl who has entered his monastery disguised as a boy. Descending into a hell of his own creation, Ambrosio is driven to magic and murder in an attempt to conceal his crimes from the Inquisition. The Monk was greatly admired by the Marquis de Sade, who saw it as a response to the upheavals of the French Revolution, yet it also reveals something more universal- the way violent and erotic impulses lurking within us all can break through every barrier of social restraint.
Matthew Gregory Lewis (1775-1818) was educated at Oxford after which he held a position in the British Embassy at The Hague. It was there in 1794, that he wrote the racy novel The Monk, under the influence of the early German romantics. Its controversial publication in 1796, due to Lewis' new status as MP, earned him fame and the book a great deal of popularity.
If you enjoyed The Monk, you might like Horace Walpole's The Castle of Otranto, also available in Penguin Classics.

Weak pole
Color: Cerulean
I don’t think it’s going to hold up to any windy conditions. Moves even in light breeze. Needs a stronger pole for the 10ft size I believe.

Like Holding a Jet Engine
This WORX WG520 12 Amp Turbine 600 Electric Leaf Blower is an excellent, and powerful product that does as advertised and completely blasts away whatever it's pointed at.
I got this product mostly to use as a drying aid when washing my cars, but also to just to clear off the backyard patio and blow out the garage occasionally. For this use-case this product has been absolutely stellar.
I 3D printed a smaller nozzle that has a more directed, concentrated flow of air for when I'm using this to dry off my car and it has worked much better than the standard long nozzle, I saw some for sale before deciding to DIY with my own 3D printer, and it was a great way to save some money and make this even more effective at car drying.
The power this has at full speed is absolutely incredible, it almost feels like it's about to fly away and I have to really clamp down on gripping it. This isn't for the weak of heart, controlling this without banging it against your car will take some time to get used to especially if you aren't a frequent gym goer.
This has worked for everything I've needed to use it for and the price was great as well for this level of performance. It may not be as portable as a cordless blower, but it is certainly far more powerful than any cordless blower I've used in the past. The one thing I'll mention is make sure you have a good heavy duty extension cord to power this, 12 awg would be ideal especially if you're using a longer extension cord, you certainly don't want to burn out the motor by starving this thing of power with a 16 awg cord or something like that.
Overall, I'm very impressed by this product and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for an insanely powerful blower, this thing is like holding on to a jet engine. 5/5 stars.
