The temptation of Saint Anthony
A bold reimagining of Flaubert’s masterpiece through fantasy, philosophy, and psychological drama.
Synopsis:
Saint Anthony lives alone in the desert, devoted entirely to prayer and self-denial. Knowing the hermit’s deepest longings, the Devil appears to tempt him with visions of wealth, pleasure, mythical creatures, and distant worlds. As their strange relationship deepens, Anthony begins to question everything around him.
Inspired by Gustave Flaubert’s The Temptation of Saint Anthony, this graphic novel gradually reveals another reality: the desert may exist only within Anthony’s fractured mind.
Blending fantasy, philosophy, and psychological drama, it explores schizophrenia, faith, and the fragile boundary between madness and reality, inviting readers to question not only what is real, but who has the authority to define it.
