"The Sorrows of Satan," perhaps Marie Corelli's best work, became a real bestseller in Victorian England.
A young writer, Geoffrey Tempest, languishing in poverty and obscurity, sells his soul to Satan and receives from the Prince of Darkness everything he dreamed of... or rather, almost everything.
Now the high society, which had previously neglected him, lies at his feet. At his service is an incalculable fortune, the love of a beautiful girl, luxury and pleasure.
But does this mean much if the main thing for which Geoffrey lived is lost - his talent?..
"Vendetta, or the History of the Forgotten" is the second novel by Marie Corelli.
Count Fabio Romani, considered by everyone to be one of the victims of the cholera epidemic that raged in Naples at the end of the 19th century, "rises from the dead"... However, upon returning home, he realizes with horror: no one is waiting for him there... His beautiful wife Nina and best friend Guido, who have been in a secret relationship for a long time, are planning a wedding and counting the days until the end of mourning. Shocked to the depths of his soul by the betrayal, Count Romani challenges fate and decides to dedicate his life to sophisticated revenge... And to begin with, he will pretend to be another person in order to win back Nina's love, Guido's friendship and the respect of society...
