Book Description
The Sorrows of Satan is an 1895 Faustian novel by Marie Corelli. It is widely regarded as one of the world's first best-sellers - partly due to an upheaval in the system British libraries used to purchase their books[citation needed], and partly due to its popular appeal. Roundly condemned by contemporary literary critics for Corelli's moralistic and prosaic style, it nonetheless had strong supporters, including Oscar Wilde and various members of royalty.Widely ignored in literary circles, it is increasingly regarded as an influential fin de siècle text. The book is occasionally subtitled "Or the Strange Experience of One Geoffrey Tempest, Millionaire".

Book Description
A poverty-stricken man suddenly inherits a fortune and is guided by the mysterious Lucio who introduces him to a world of fame, greed and materialism. As he navigates a path of destruction, he begins to question his partner's motives. Geoffrey Tempest is a struggling writer on the verge of homelessness. He lives in a bustling and expensive city that bends to the rich and powerful. His life dramatically changes when he receives an inheritance from a deceased relative. This sparks the arrival of Lucio, a gentleman who is eager to help Geoffrey manage his wealth. He introduces the new heir to vices that cause more harm than good. Geoffrey soon discovers Lucio's true identity and must choose between the fruits of the spirit and desires of the flesh. The Sorrows of Satan is a commentary on the ancient battle of good versus evil. Corelli uses contemporary London to display man's worldly temptations. The story centers opposing ideals driven by a charismatic and undeniable force. With an eye-catching new cover, and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of The Sorrows of Satan is both modern and readable.

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
This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1896 edition. Excerpt: ...you make lest they be too fully granted! A rose from the cottage of Mavis Clare?--a rose from the garden of Eden!--they are one and the same to me! Not for my gathering or yours! Love and joy? For the unfaithful there is no love, --for the impure there is no joy. Add no more to the measure of my hatred and vengeance!--Go while there is yet time, --go and front the destiny you have made for yourself--for nothing can alter it! And as for me, whom you love, --before whom you have knelt in idolatrous worship--" and a low fierce laugh escaped him--"why, ----restrain your feverish desires, fair fiend!--have patience!--we shall meet ere long!" I could not bear the scene another moment, and springing from my hiding-place, I dragged my wife away from him and flung myself between them. "Let me defend you, Lucio, from the pertinacities of this wanton!" I cried with a wild burst of laughter----"An hour ago I thought she was my wife, --I find her nothing but a purchased chattel, who seeks a change of masters!" Foa one instant we all three stood facing each other, --I breathless and mad with fury, --Lucio calm and disdainful, --my wife staggering back from me, halfswooning with fear. In an access of black rage, I rushed upon her and seized her in my arms. "I have heard you!" I said--"I have seen you! I have watched you kneel before my true friend, my loyal comrade there, and try your best to make him as vile as yourself! I am that poor fool, your husband, --that blind egoist whose confidence you sought to win--and to betray! I am the unhappy wretch whose surplus of world's cash has bought for him in marriage a shameless courtezan! You dare to talk of love? You profane its very name! Good...
