St. Leon: A Tale of the Sixteenth Century (1799) is eighteenth-century British philosopher William Godwin's second novel. Following the success of Things as They Are; or, The Adventures of Caleb Williams (1794), Godwin searched for a topic that would capture his imagination as much as his earlier work. St. Leon is the tale of a French aristocrat, Count Reginald de St. Leon, who loses his wealth gambling and experiences guilt that drives him almost to madness. He accepts the secret of the elixir of life and of the power of multiplying wealth from a dying stranger, ultimately causing him to wander separated from humankind.

  • Saint Léon (o St. Léon): Un cuento del siglo dieciséis (1799) es la segunda novela de William Godwin, filósofo británico del siglo XVIII. Tras el éxito de Las cosas como son, o Las aventuras de Caleb Williams (1794), Godwin buscó un tema que pudiera atrapar su imaginación tanto como lo había hecho su anterior trabajo. Saint Léon es la historia de un aristócrata francés, el conde Reginald de Saint Léon, que pierde toda su fortuna apostando y experimenta una culpa que lo lleva casi hasta la locura. Acepta de un extraño moribundo el secreto del elixir de la vida y el poder de multiplicar sus riquezas, lo que lo lleva, finalmente, a tener que vagabundear, apartado de los seres humanos. (es)
