This 1892 novella is translated loosely from a German folktale and masterfully retold by Bierce. Set in the Bavarian mountains, it tells the story of a young Franciscan monk who becomes obsessed and eventually tormented by his feelings for a young girl who has been socially ostracized because her father is the local hangman.
