Book Description
Unabridged Audiobook. 9 CD's - 10 hours: 1 minute. Performed by John Bolen.

"The possession of power, no matter how enormous, does not bring the knowledge how to use it". Raphael, a failed writer, deep in debt, and unrequited in love, is about to take a suicidal plunge into the Seine River. Just in time, he discovers the "Magic Skin" in an antiquity shop. Its supernatural powers grant every wish but it extracts a terrible toll! This parable depicts the malaise of 19th century France.

Download Description
The devil take you! said Raphael. "How are you to enter into my feelings if I do not relate the facts that insensibly shaped my character, made me timid, and prolonged the period of youthful simplicity? In this manner I cowered under as strict a despotism as a monarch's till I came of age. To depict the tedium of my life, it will be perhaps enough to portray my father to you. --This text refers to the Digital edition.
