Note: Reading ease score: 70.6 (7th grade). Fairly easy to read.
Summary: "In Both Worlds" by William H. Holcombe is a novel likely written in the late 19th century. This story weaves a mystical narrative that explores themes of life, death, and spirituality, centered around the character of Lazarus, who recounts his experiences of dying and returning to life. At its core, the novel delves into the conflicts between the visible and invisible worlds, and the struggles of its characters as they navigate these realms. The opening of the narrative introduces the protagonist, Lazarus of Bethany, who presents himself as a biographer recounting his extraordinary life and the profound wisdom he acquired after being raised from the dead by Christ. As he reflects on his childhood, family, and deep connections to his father and sisters, he sets the stage for a tale marked by tragedy, mystical experiences, and conflicts with his uncle Magistus, a character embroiled in dark magical practices. The narrative soon shifts to intense familial tensions and a sense of foreboding as Lazarus describes his father’s affliction and the ominous presence of Magistus, foreshadowing the struggles that lie ahead for Lazarus and his family.
