  • 内容简介
  • 这是一篇探讨“良心”问题的小说:一个青年爱上一个百万富翁的女儿。却在无意中发现这百万富翁泰伊番的罪恶发家史。他杀害两个无辜者的生命,谋取了最初的资金,而且两个死者中有一个还是他自小就亲密无间的同学和朋友—普罗斯佩•马尼昂。在这种情况下,年轻人的爱情与廉耻心产生了矛盾,他是否应当娶他的心上人为妻,是否应当接受他岳父沾满血腥的遗产,这是个十分微妙的问题。作者以虚构手法,让主人公召集社会各界人士中“最正直、最有廉耻心和荣誉感”的人,组成“良心法庭”来进行讨论。这场精彩的讨论意味深长地揭示了社会对罪恶是何等宽容:人们只承认现状,不愿追究历史。一个人只要有钱,便受到尊重、享有荣誉,谁也不去过问他最初的财产是从哪里来的。
