This deluxe collector's edition is accompanied by over 40 original full-color illustrations, created especially for this edition by the talented artist Valeria Panfilova (pseudonym AriwArt). Each image is born in dialogue with the text. The hardcover is bound in a "sand-sugar" film, with colored endpapers and trim. The font is easy to read, with embellishments and capital letters.
The full text of the work, unabridged, translated by Vlad Charny.
The novel is set in London in 1895. Satan walks among people, searching for his next toy. But will he toy with it to show God that he can corrupt anyone, or does his intentions lie elsewhere?
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 made his fortune in gold mining: he says he's sending Geoffrey a friend who will help him escape poverty. The second is a note from an attorney, stating that he has inherited a fortune from a deceased relative. The third is a letter of recommendation from Prince Lucio Rimanez, "the deliverer from poverty."
Geoffrey will have it all: fame, wealth, status, but his talent, which was supposed to bring light, is dwindling. The eternal struggle between good and evil, dormant deep within, is ignited. Will Geoffrey be able to make the right choice and preserve his talent and soul?
