Volpone; Or, The Fox

A wealthy, childless magnifico feigns a terminal illness to extract extravagant gifts from a parade of greedy legacy-hunters. Each suitor debases themselves, offering up their wives, disinheriting their children, and betraying their morals for a slice of the promised fortune. But when the master manipulator's scheme grows too complex, the entire corrupt enterprise teeters on the brink of spectacular collapse. Dive into a dark, glittering comedy that savagely indicts the dehumanizing power of unbridled avarice.
