La Tentation de saint Antoine (The Temptation of Saint Anthony) was published in 1874 as a novel with a structure of a drama, the action of which takes place in one night. The main actors in these visions of St. Anthony are Amonaria, his love from his youth, King Nebuchadnezzar, the Queen of Sheba, Hilarion (Antony’s disciple) as the embodiment of Satan, along with Lust and Death, in the form of a young woman and an old woman. This book is, among other things, an unsurpassed study of religion, philosophy, and paganism.
