The Sorrows of Satan

A starving writer inherits five million pounds on the same evening that a foreign prince befriends him, and neither the money nor the friend is what it appears. Corelli's best-selling novel and the one in which she settles accounts with the literary critics of London. This edition is bound with fifty-seven plates of painting, among them works by Gustave Doré, John Ferneley and Francis Grant, ranging in date from 1744 to 1915.
