The Sorrows of Satan

The action of the novel takes place in London in 1895. Satan walks among people in search of another toy with which he can amuse himself to show God that he can corrupt anyone. He wants to find someone worthy who can resist temptations, which will be difficult because disbelief, corruption, and depravity reign all around.
Jeffrey Tempest, a young impoverished writer, struggles to make ends meet while unsuccessfully trying to sell his novel. Once again, as he reflects on his desperate situation, he notices three letters on the table. The first is from a friend in Australia who got rich from gold mining; he informs Jeffrey that he is sending an acquaintance who will help him escape poverty. The second is a note from a lawyer detailing that he has inherited a fortune from a deceased relative. The third is a letter of recommendation from Prince Lucio Rimanez, the 'deliverer from poverty,' mentioned by the friend from Australia. Will Jeffrey be able to make the right choice, preserve his talent and soul?..
