The Sorrows of Satan

ISBN: 2322434574
Category : Fiction
Languages : fr
Pages : 352
Book Description
On the surface the plot follows the story of a penniless, starving author called Geoffrey Tempest. So poor that he is behind on his rent and can barely afford light in his room, he receives three letters. The first is from a friend in Australia who has made his fortune and offers to introduce him to a good friend who might be able to lift him from poverty. The second is a note from a solicitor detailing that he has inherited a fortune from a deceased relative. The third is a letter of introduction from a foreign aristocrat called Lucio, who befriends him and proceeds to be his guide in how best to use his newfound wealth. Tempest remains blissfully unaware throughout the novel, despite warnings from people he meets, that Lucio is the earthly incarnation of the Devil. Over the course of the book, his wealth leads to misery. Eventually, when confronted with the true nature of his companion, he renounces evil and returns to society penniless but content with the chance to purify his soul. Although the plot follows Tempest's fall from grace and subsequent redemption, he is in many regards a secondary character to Lucio. Both the title of the work and much of its philosophical content relate to the supreme yearning within Satan to achieve salvation. The book's main contribution to Faustian literature is the introduction of the concept that above all other people it is Satan who most truly believes in the Gospel, and yet he is forbidden ever to partake of it.

Book Description
The Sorrows of Satan is a 1895 faustian novel by Marie Corelli. It is broadly viewed as one of the world's first successes, somewhat because of a disturbance in the framework British libraries used to buy their books and mostly because of its well known allure. Entirely denounced by pundits for Corelli's moralistic and trite style it in any case had solid allies in Oscar Wilde and different individuals from sovereignty. Generally disregarded in abstract circles, it is progressively viewed as a persuasive balance de siècle text. The book is sometimes captioned "Or the Strange Experience of one Geoffrey Tempest, Millionaire".

Book Description
The Sorrows of Satan was one of the first modern bestsellers and was influential in establishing some of the major trends in twentieth-century bestselling fiction.The setting is London, 1895, and the Devil is on the loose. He is searching for someone morally strong enough to resist temptation, but there seems little chance he will succeed. Britain is all but totally corrupt. The aristocracy is financially and spiritually bankrupt; church leaders no longer believe in God; Victorian idealism has been banished from literature and life; and sexual morality is being undermined by the pernicious doctrines of the "New Woman." Everything and everyone is up for sale, and it takes a special kind of moral courage to resist the Devil's seductions.
