Sorrows of Satan

Summary: Satan's Sorrow was my joy
Review: A beautifully eloquent book which sadly demonstrates the decline in the expressiveness of modern language. I was gripped from the first chapter onwards and felt empathy and emotion as to the plight of the main characters.

The devil is wonderfully described and I feel as if I know him all too well. He passes such sublime insights into theological debate that it sets the mind spinning. It is a cleverly described work of fiction which tends to polarise one's opinion towards religion and the general inhumanity of mankind. What struck me was that the description of "jaded youth", of selfish and "sensual egotism" in the late 1800's was equally applicable in the new Millennium. After reading it I found myself less likely to bemoan daily trivial problems and more likely to appreciate the simpler beauty of nature around me.

Summary: The Sorrows of Satan
Review: For one thing it makes the efforts of other writers who have tried to capture the super natural look like fairy tales.It allows mankind into another side of the Devil. He is not an ugly being as dogmatic religions will make us believe.Instead he is a fine being with the power to lure human with his promise of greatness.Mankind will fall if we do not substitute greed,and avarice for the greater purpose of God's creation,Love.Marvis Clair moving the Devil to tears was enough to make me cry.It shows the yearning for God's love even to his arch rival.
I recommended this book to my father,and he never regretted the time he spent in reading it.

Summary: If women can be pure and men honest - Earth will be Heaven
Review: I've read this book many times since 1985. Every time I found something new in it. Every time I was inspired, believing in God and Love even more. There is an important message in this book to all of us. And also there is a great example of what the woman should be like in a face of a writer, Mavis Clair.

Summary: A Consumate Work of Art
Review: Marie Corelli's imaginative conception of the relationship between God, man and the devil is awe-inspiring. Probably, a novel equivalent of John Milton's legendary poem "Paradise Lost", the Sorrows of Satan forces the mind to wander into the world of the supernatural and to reappraise how powerful human choices are and how much they could be affected by our immediate circumstances. I read this book for the first time 10 years ago and here am I reading it again for the 5th time. It always leaves me inspired and infused with a great sense of creativity. I know that I will always come back to this book and so this will definitely not be the last time for me. Highly recommended to any lover of art.

Summary: interesting and thought-provoking
Review: Only halfway through the book as I am I still feel that I have to share my thougths and general opinions of it. The criticism of modern society (as it was in 1986) is to apparent to miss, it being expressed in every second sentence. Corelli's despise for a society where money rules the world is personified in the Devil and his strive for finding a man not too fallen in his craving for money and economical status. This he need to achieve for attaining his return to his righteous place in heaven. Now his eyes fall upon a certain authour, resently living in poverty, now risen above most men in his wealth. How this piece of brillance end I don't yet know, this due to the only thing that lowers my grading of it....its apt to make hard reading, which slow down my otherwise fast reading-speed. It leaves me wishing for more fluent a language. All-told its worth the time it takes to read...and slightly more...

Summary: Sorrows of Satan by Marrie Corelli
Review: This novel is a MUST READ for every one that really appreciates what a novel in all its ramifications is. It happens to be the first novel I have read from cover to cover in twenty-four hours. It is so gripping that you can not do any other thing than turning over the pages to know what happens next. Readers should be warned that if they have any other thing to do in a day, they should not borther opening even the first page.
