Description
Marie Corelli - The Sorrows of Satan
The Sorrows of Satan is a provocative and darkly philosophical novel that blends satire, moral inquiry, and gothic drama. The story follows Geoffrey Tempest, a struggling writer who suddenly inherits a vast fortune and befriends the mysterious and charismatic Prince Lucio Rimânez—who is soon revealed to be Satan himself.
Through their relationship, Marie Corelli explores themes of ambition, vanity, wealth, faith, and the corrupting power of success. Rather than portraying evil as crude or monstrous, the novel presents Satan as refined, eloquent, and tragically aware of humanity’s moral weaknesses. The book sharply criticizes materialism, hypocrisy, and the shallow values of high society, while questioning what true happiness and virtue really mean.
Controversial in its time and immensely popular with readers, The Sorrows of Satan remains a compelling and thought-provoking classic—part cautionary tale, part social critique, and part metaphysical reflection on good, evil, and the human soul.
