The Sorrows of Satan

The Tribulation of Satan is a novel by the British writer Maria Corelli, first published in 1895. This work, belonging to the genre of Gothic literature, explores the themes of morality, temptation and spiritual decay.

The novel tells the story of Jeffrey Tempest, a poor writer who suddenly gets a huge inheritance. Soon after, he meets the mysterious and powerful Prince Lucio Rimanz, who turns out to be the incarnation of Satan.

Maria Corelli uses elements of mysticism and the supernatural to emphasize the struggle between good and evil in the human soul. The novel criticizes materialism and the emptiness of secular life, revealing deep religious and philosophical issues. "The Tribulations of Satan" also reflects Victorian moral norms and fears, offering the reader to reflect on the consequences of their actions and choices.

The book was popular at the time, and despite mixed reviews from critics, it remains a significant work exploring the eternal themes of human existence and moral choice.

We suggest that you immerse yourself in this mystical story by reading the novel in the original language.
