The Soul of Lilith

London at the end of the 19th century. El-Rami, a scientist of extraordinary talent and a skeptic, is obsessed with a daring goal: to prove that the soul exists independently of the body and to penetrate the mysteries of the universe. For this, he conducts an incredible and terrifying experiment in his home — holding the soul of a deceased girl, Lilith, at the brink of life and death, trapped in a body destined to become dust. This duel of human will against divine law lasts for six years. Lilith reveals to El-Rami the secrets of other worlds, but at the same time becomes a living reminder that knowledge without humility leads to destruction. El-Rami will pay a bitter price on his path to faith. The gothic atmosphere, mystical plot, and intense philosophical confrontation make «The Soul of Lilith» one of the most unusual novels by Marie Corelli. First translated into Russian.
