The Devil Tree

Exploring the duality of wealth and existential emptiness, the story follows a privileged young man whose fascination with power conceals deeper vulnerabilities. The narrative weaves together themes of playfulness, violence, and moral ambiguity, reminiscent of both Camus's existentialism and the dark intrigue found in "The Talented Mr. Ripley." Through this complex character, the novel delves into the consequences of a life driven by status and the darker impulses that lie beneath a charming facade.
