God's Good Man A Simple Love Story

Beschreibung

God's Good Man: A Simple Love Story explores the serene yet intricate life of a country clergyman in a quiet English village. The protagonist, a reverend, is portrayed as a man of wisdom and emotional depth, dedicated to his parishioners and his love for nature. His life, filled with simple pleasures such as tending to his gardens, becomes complicated as social changes and human relationships unfold around him. The story highlights the reverend's reflective journey through life, love, and companionship, particularly when he is drawn into a web of social interactions and personal introspection. The novel contrasts the tranquil joys of rural living with the complexities that arise when individuals are forced to confront deeper emotions and societal expectations. The reverend's evolving relationship with the villagers and his thoughts on love and nature form the heart of the narrative, as he navigates a world where personal connections and social duties intertwine. This tale ultimately emphasizes the beauty and challenges of human connections in a world marked by simplicity and deeper emotional undercurrents.

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.
