Wormwood is a novel written by Marie Corelli, a British author of the late Victorian and Edwardian eras. The book was first published in 1890 and has since become a classic of supernatural fiction. The story follows the life of a young man named Geoffrey Tempest, who inherits a vast estate in England from his father. However, he soon discovers that the estate is cursed with a dark and mysterious history, including a legend of a ghostly woman who haunts the property. As Tempest begins to explore the estate and uncover its secrets, he becomes increasingly obsessed with the ghostly woman and her tragic story. He also becomes involved in a complex web of relationships with the other inhabitants of the estate, including his cousin, his childhood friend, and a beautiful but enigmatic woman who captures his heart. As the plot unfolds, Tempest is forced to confront his own inner demons and the dark forces that threaten to destroy him and those he loves. The novel is a gripping tale of love, obsession, and the supernatural, and it explores themes of fate, free will, and the power of the human mind. Overall, Wormwood is a haunting and atmospheric novel that has stood the test of time and continues to captivate readers with its richly detailed characters, intricate plot, and eerie atmosphere.1890. Another work by Corelli, this novel is a drama of Paris. The unhappy hero of this drama is presented to the English reader not as an example of what is exceptionally tragic and uncommon, but simply as a very ordinary type of a large and ever-increasing class.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
