Inhaltsangabe

Temporal Power by Marie Corelli is a compelling tale of political intrigue, spiritual reflection, and the quest for true leadership. Set in a fictional European kingdom, the novel follows the rise of a young and idealistic king who struggles to balance the demands of power with his moral and spiritual convictions. As he navigates treacherous court politics and faces the corruption of those around him, he seeks guidance from a mysterious and wise advisor. Corelli's rich storytelling and philosophical insights make Temporal Power a thought-provoking exploration of the nature of authority, justice, and the human soul. Marie Corelli (1855-1924) was a British novelist popular from the publication of her first novel in 1886 until World War I. Corelli's novels sold more copies than the combined sales of popular contemporaries, including Arthur Conan Doyle, H. G. Wells, and Rudyard Kipling. Critics derided her work as "the favourite of the common multitude," but she was Queen Victoria's favourite writer.

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Marie Corelli can be considered the best-selling author of the Victorian era. She was so renowned that calendars were sold with citations from her books, and a series of postcards representing her could be purchased by her devoted readership. Everybody read Corelli's books, from the most basic shopgirl to Oscar Wilde and Queen Victoria herself. A Romance of Two Worlds, her first book, was distributed in 1886, and it turned her into a best-selling author in England and one of the favourites of Queen Victoria herself, who ended up ordering the complete collection of Marie's books. Despite the severe criticism, her books often managed to break sales records. Marie was the only writer asked to attend the coronation of Edward VII. Marie Corelli's books are inspired, magical, and philosophical. She volunteered to cure the universe's social ills. Among her best works are Barabbas (1893), Thelma (1887), The Expert Christian (1900), Wormwood (1890), The Mystery Power (1921), The Distresses of Satan (1895), The Existence Never-ending (1911), and Transient Power (1902). After World War I, her books were viewed as obsolete, and both interest and sales declined. She passed away in 1924.
