The novel is set in London in 1895. Satan is walking among people in search of his next toy. But will he play with it to show God that he can corrupt anyone, or does he have other intentions?.. He wants to find someone worthy who can resist temptation, which will be difficult because there is unbelief, corruption, and venality all around. Geoffrey Tempest, a young impoverished writer, is barely making ends meet, unsuccessfully trying to sell his novel. Once again, when he reflects on his desperate situation, he notices three letters on the table. The first is from a friend in Australia who got rich in gold mining, he says that he is sending Geoffrey a friend who will help him get out of poverty. The second is a note from a solicitor, which describes in detail that he has inherited a fortune from a deceased relative. The third is a letter of recommendation from Prince Lucio Rimanez, the "savior from poverty" about whom a friend from Australia wrote. Will Geoffrey be able to make the right choice, preserve his talent and soul?..

"The Sorrows of Satan" is a mystical decadent novel by the English writer Marie Corelli, published in 1895 and became the biggest bestseller in the history of Victorian England.
