{ "item_title" : "Ziska", "item_author" : [" Marie Corelli "], "item_description" : "In Ziska: The Problem of a Wicked Soul, Marie Corelli delves into the complex interplay of passion, morality, and the supernatural, presenting a richly woven narrative that reveals the depths of the human psyche. With her trademark blend of romanticism and spiritual exploration, Corelli examines the titular character, Ziska, who embodies both allure and danger. The novel's literary style is characterized by lush descriptions, intricate character development, and philosophical underpinnings that raise poignant questions about the nature of evil and redemption. Set against a backdrop of exotic locales, the story engages with themes of obsession, sacrifice, and the eternal struggle between good and evil, firmly situating itself within the late Victorian preoccupation with mysticism and the occult. Marie Corelli, a prominent figure in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, was known for her innovative approach to storytelling and her exploration of spiritual subjects. Often regarded as one of the first best-selling female authors, Corelli's own experiences with metaphysical themes and her rejection of conventional literary norms profoundly influenced her writing. Her personal beliefs in the supernatural, combined with her keen observance of societal mores, culminate in a narrative that is both cautionary and enthralling. Ziska is highly recommended for readers seeking a multifaceted exploration of morality and desire framed within a vividly imaginative setting. Corelli's unique voice invites readers to ponder the darker aspects of existence, making this novel a thought-provoking addition to the canon of gothic literature. Whether you are drawn to tales of romance, existential dilemmas, or the supernatural, Ziska offers an enthralling experience that is as timeless as it is unsettling.", "item_img_path" : "https://covers4.booksamillion.com/covers/bam/8/02/730/807/8027308070_b.jpg", "price_data" : { "retail_price" : "10.20", "online_price" : "10.20", "our_price" : "10.20", "club_price" : "10.20", "savings_pct" : "0", "savings_amt" : "0.00", "club_savings_pct" : "0", "club_savings_amt" : "0.00", "discount_pct" : "10", "store_price" : "" } }
