Valencourt Press, The Only Reprint you Can Trust

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 6, 2023

Verified Purchase

Buy the hard copy, and then you can fold over the pages, highlight and take notes, which you will. I have a first edition as well which I don’t mutilate. But I do read it now and then.

Do not purchase from CreateSpace. Shame on them. I learned the hard way when I purchased a book from the, years ago and will not be fooled again. VERY Dishonest they are.

Lessons for us all.

Sympathy for the Devil?

Not like any other book you’ve ever read and not for everybody. Corelli belonged to some secret society, but not the Theosophical society. She had no use for HPB but her first book A Romance of Two Wolds is listed by them as a theosophically themed book.

She wanted to Teach using essays but was told the she must instead write stories which she has interlaced with short essays.

I couldn’t put it down.

I’ve read it a few times Always finding something I missed in a previous reading. What a tale she spun.

Reading this book again for the fourth time since I discovered it 19years ago.
To all who crave worldly fame and fortune, deny the existence of God or the devil, here's an account of one who did strongly than any I've known.

Pompeia

The worst edited book I have ever read.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 9, 2010

Verified Purchase

I am probably only about 1/8th of the way through this book but felt compelled to write a review before completion - not about the story itself (which so far is interesting and compelling) but about this particular edition of the book (publisher: General Books - ISBN 978-1-150-17502-2). I have never read a book so poorly edited in my life - it is almost as though someone were given a handwritten copy of the manuscript, typed it up on a typewriter and then sent it to the printer without reading it through. There are clear instances where the intended letter in a word is the letter next to it on the keyboard, sometimes symbols replace letters, there are odd line breaks mid-sentence and that is to name only a few of the most glaring examples. Here is a sample of the text from pg. 13:

"This letter, prince, adds to my shame and regret that I B ?
should have greeted you in so churlish a manner this evening. No apology can
condone my rudeness..."

I have copied the line breaks from the book (as you can see, they are not even between the first and second line) and I have no idea what "B ?" is supposed to mean. Anyway, just wanted to give a heads up to fellow Amazon buyers - so far I would say buy this story but don't buy this edition! I plan to avoid buying anything from this publisher in future.

Elibron Kindle version really better

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 11, 2010

Verified Purchase

If you don't like typos, the Elibron version of THE SORROWS OF SATAN, the costlier of the two Kindle versions currently available, is genuinely better.

The other one has not only typos, but quote marks separated from the quotes they enclose by a space, so that you often get quotes isolated at the end or beginning of lines.

The Elibron version is in the special formal typeface used on Kindle by some of the Oxford classics, and therefore page turning will be a little slower, but it's much more handsome and readable, and has comparatively no typos at all.

Downloading samples will show the difference. Strangely, SORROWS is not available through Gutenberg in any form, though Gutenberg has other and even more popular Corelli novels.

Cousin of Camus

Is Satan Still Out There? Then He Has Great Disguises!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 19, 2014

Verified Purchase

Frankly, I didn't get through this book, although I'm sure it's just as beautifully written as other Corelli's books are, and I've read
several. By the time I got to this one, about 5 books down my list, I was getting tired of her being tired of people who have fallen into the downward spiral of being human, having a human ego and forgetting that we are beautiful spiritual beings who have lost our way, although our God is calling us home to beauty, Light and our original estate of Purity and Love.

i read this book in russian when i was 10 and this it the best book ive read so far in my life im 40 now. this book clarifies my soul on the very deep level. better then the Bible does. For a very long time (because of a mistake of russian publicists, they printed Brem Stoker as the author) i was looking for this book in English to read.

A great Faustian tale

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 15, 2020

Verified Purchase

Excellent Faustian tale that would be appreciated by those loving a Gothic tale. The language is exquisite almost poetic. I can see why Ms Corelli's books outsold Dicken's and Conan-Doyle.

DS, Reading.

Twisty, good story.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on October 22, 2021

Verified Purchase

Sometime hard to read, small print on large pages, it's also written in an unfamiliar way, more like a brain dump, after you've read it it did pan out the way you thought.
Good observations on people, types, ones ready to sell their soul for a rich comfortable life, that sort of thing.

Worst printing in the world

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on April 15, 2021

Verified Purchase

The story in this book is great. The actual physical copy produced by Amazon publishers, however, is horrific. There is no table of contents at all, the print is cheap, pages thin and already bending, its riddled with typos and it has quotation marks instead of apostrophes throughout the book. The actual novel is in public domain and if I had paid 50p for this printing I'd be more understanding about why the product quality is so low, but for £7+, this is a joke and a ripoff. Do buy the book but do so from a real publisher who gives a hoot about the quality of the print, not this clearly downloaded pdf and sent straight to printers without as much as a glance.
