Description
In late-18th-century England, a young orphan named Caleb Williams finds himself entangled in the life of the wealthy and enigmatic Fernando Falkland. As Caleb's secretary, he uncovers a dark secret that thrusts him into a relentless pursuit, forcing him to confront the corrupting influence of power and the devastating consequences of injustice. This gripping narrative masterfully exposes how the very systems designed to protect society can instead destroy the lives they touch, even those of the innocent. William Godwin's powerful novel serves as a profound exploration of freedom, surveillance, and the enduring struggle against oppression.
