Produktbeschreibung
The Treasure of Heaven: A Romance of Riches explores the deep emotional struggles of an individual caught between wealth and personal fulfillment. The narrative delves into the inner conflict of an individual who, despite material abundance, faces emptiness and dissatisfaction. The journey highlights the fragility of life and the fleeting nature of wealth, contrasting it with the enduring human need for meaningful connections and love. It reflects on the consequences of neglecting emotional and spiritual well-being in pursuit of material success, emphasizing the loneliness that often accompanies wealth. The exploration of legacy and the search for a lasting impact also plays a central role, as the protagonist grapples with the question of who will inherit his fortune, confronting his own mortality. The novel enhances the notion of inner reflection, showing how one's perception of success evolves when faced with the passage of time and the weight of lost opportunities. The introspective tone encourages a reevaluation of what truly constitutes wealth, urging a focus on the intangible aspects of life that bring fulfillment.
Autorenporträt
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.
