Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1895, The Sorrows of Satan is a Faustian novel by Marie Corelli. It is widely regarded as one of the world's first best-sellers, partly due to an upheaval in the system British libraries used to purchase their books and partly due to its popular appeal. Roundly condemned by critics for Corelli's moralistic and prosaic style it nonetheless had strong supporters in Oscar Wilde and various members of royalty. It is increasingly regarded as an influential fin de siècle text.
