Publisher's Synopsis
Spiridion is a novel written by the French author George Sand and originally published in 1839. The story follows the narrator, a young Parisian student named Spiridion, as he meets a mysterious and enigmatic monk named Angelus.

As Spiridion becomes more involved with the monks, he begins to question his own beliefs and the role of religion in society. The novel explores themes of faith, morality, and the search for truth. Throughout the book, Sand uses vivid descriptions of nature and the monastery to create a mystical and dreamlike atmosphere.
