Sinopsis

When honest young Caleb Williams comes to work as a secretary for Squire Falkland he soon begins to suspect that his new master is hiding a terrible secret. But as he digs deeper into Falkland?s past and finally unearths the guilty truth the results of his curiosity prove calamitous when - even though Caleb has loyally sworn never to disclose what he has discovered - the Squire enacts a cruel revenge. A tale of gripping suspense and psychological power William Godwin?s novel creates a searing depiction of the intolerable persecution meted out to a good man in pursuit of justice and equality. Written to expose the political oppression and corrupt hierarchies its author saw in the world around him Caleb Williams (1794) makes a radical call to end the tyrannical misuses of power.
