Summary: "The Sorrows of Satan" by Marie Corelli is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story centers around Geoffrey Tempest, a struggling writer who finds himself on the brink of starvation when he unexpectedly inherits a vast fortune of five million pounds. The novel explores themes of wealth, ambition, and the moral dilemmas faced by individuals in society, particularly as Geoffrey navigates the complexities of his newfound status. The opening of the novel introduces Geoffrey as he reflects on the harsh realities of poverty and his struggles as a writer in London. His life takes a dramatic turn when he receives unexpected news of his inheritance, which brings him both excitement and anxiety about the societal changes it will bring. Alongside this, we are introduced to an enigmatic character, Prince Lucio Rimânez, who becomes an influential figure in Geoffrey's life. Their initial encounter sets the stage for a complex relationship filled with both camaraderie and underlying tension as they delve into philosophical discussions about wealth, ambition, and morality. This opening portion effectively establishes the contrasting themes of the narrative and hints at the conflicts Geoffrey will face as he transitions from poverty to wealth.
