Cover of William Beckford & Malcolm Jack: Vathek and Other Stories (ePUB)

Beckford’s Gothic novel Vathek, an Arabian tale, was originally written in French when the author was twenty-one. Published in English in 1786, it was one of the most successful of the oriental tales then in fashion. This edition makes available to a new generation of scholars and general readers, the originality of Beckford’s ideas, and the excellence of his prose.
