HTML: Popular Victorian-era writer Marie Corelli does it again in this epic romance imbued with supernatural and gothic themes. A companion piece of sorts to Corelli's first novel, A Romance of Two Worlds, Ardath follows the life of young poet Theos Alwyn, whose encounter with a mysterious monk propels him into a spiritual quest that transcends space and time. .Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

In the first section Theos travels to a mountain monastery to meet with Heliobas, who appears in other Corelli works. There he has a strange vision and is told to go to the Field of Ardath to meet his Edris.
The second section of the book is taken up by his arrival in the field where he is either taken back in time or dreams of being taken back to a point several thousand years before the birth of Christ. Here he spends most of the book in devotion of his beloved Sah-luma and mystified by the beautiful yet cruel Lysia in the magnificent city of Al-Kyris only to watch it all be destroyed around him.
In the third section, he regains consciousness in the Field of Ardath, finds out why he was drawn to both Sah-Luma & Lysia and returns to England where he finds that the poem he wrote while in a daze at the monastery has become a best seller. He meets up again with Heliobas again. The story ends in Austria where Theos is reconnected with the beautiful maiden Edris.
There are two views of those story and both are mentioned throughout. The skeptical viewpoint of hypnotism and dreams causing all the bizarre occurances in the book and the other viewpoint of it all being a plan of God's which the modern day society (of the book at least) completely rejects and reasons its way out of.
