The Underworld at Midnight

What is human nature? Cowardice and selfishness? There is no such thing as perfect goodness or greatness. Even a supposedly kind-hearted person who finds a wallet on the road and returns it to its owner may have thought about keeping it. No one is perfect. Don't fear the enemies who attack you, but beware of the friends who flatter you.

In this book, there's a bride who continues to watch over the living days after her death, a murderer haunted by his shadow after committing a crime, and a man who abandons what he has for something better, only to end up with nothing...

Night has fallen, and all kinds of strange stories are beginning to unfold.

There are things in this world more important than nations: the conscience of humanity.

Romain Rolland
