The novel takes place in London in 1895. Satan roams among humanity, searching for his next toy to play with, to show God he can corrupt anyone. He wants to find someone worthy, someone who can resist temptation, which will be difficult because of the unbelief, corruption, and venality that reign all around him.
Geoffrey Tempest, a young, impoverished writer, is barely making ends meet, unsuccessfully trying to sell his novel. Once again, as he reflects on his desperate situation, he notices three letters on his desk. The first is from a friend in Australia who has made a fortune in gold mining; he informs him that he is sending someone to Geoffrey who will help him escape poverty. The second is a note from an attorney, detailing his inheritance of a fortune from a deceased relative. The third is a letter of introduction from Prince Lucio Rimanese, the "deliverer from poverty" his Australian friend wrote about. Will Geoffrey be able to make the right choice and preserve his talent and soul?
"The Sorrows of Satan" is a decadent mystical novel by the English writer Marie Corelli, published in 1895 and becoming the biggest bestseller in the history of Victorian England.
