The story of the Scortas opens in 1870 with Rocco Scorta Mascalzone, the bastard product of a rape and a notorious scoundrel, whose legacy the family is forced to confront, but while the Scortas' lineage seems doomed to struggle, they are blessed with an imposing pride and a relentless faith in their own power.

The House of Scorta

Pierre Klossowski

In this erotic, metaphysical, and theological novel, the spirits of medieval Templar monks gather on the anniversary of their Grand Master's torment and execution. Together they commit the sexual perfidies and blasphemous acts of which they had been forced to accuse one another before a tribunal.
