About this audiobook
A young author abandons his comfortable life and aristocratic fiancée to pursue a dark family secret and a mysterious woman in New York City. Pierre’s descent into poverty and moral ambiguity reveals the terrifying fragility of virtue and the dangers of absolute truth. Melville crafts a dark, psychological Gothic tale that explores the destructive power of idealism.
