Annotation
The Ardis audio studio presents to your attention the novel by Alexandre Dumas about the adherents of the secret society of the Tugendbund, written in 1851. Self-confident, cynical, and cunning Samuel Gelb—an illegitimate son of a German baron—raised in a poor Jewish quarter, calling himself a sculptor of living souls—decides to compete with Providence and challenges the Creator himself, imagining that he can control the fates of others and subdue death.
