Marie Corelli, “The Sorrows of Satan”

17,00

The Victorian masterpiece that gave voice to the Devil

The Sorrows of Satan by Marie Corelli (1855-1924), first published in 1895, is one of the most striking novels of the fin de siècle — a gothic allegory that blends mystery, morality, and metaphysical vision.

The story follows Geoffrey Tempest, a struggling writer who inherits a vast fortune and meets the enigmatic Prince Lucio Rimânez — Satan in human guise. As wealth and success transform Geoffrey’s life, he discovers that his soul may be the true price of his prosperity.

A bold reinterpretation of the Faustian myth, the novel explores themes of temptation, materialism, and redemption, offering both a critique of Victorian society and a meditation on good and evil.

Corelli, one of the most popular yet misunderstood authors of her time, combines poetic language with passionate moral vision, creating a tale that is as philosophical as it is dramatic. The Devil, here, is not a villain but a tragic being — condemned to witness the corruption of mankind with eternal sorrow.

This edition presents the authentic English text as it first appeared, preserving the stylistic nuances and linguistic texture of the late nineteenth century.

A forgotten bestseller and a visionary work of moral imagination, The Sorrows of Satan remains an enduring reflection on faith, vanity, and the human soul.
