*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
In "Thelma," Marie Corelli weaves a rich tapestry of romance and self-discovery set against the backdrop of the majestic Norwegian fjords. The narrative follows its eponymous heroine, whose journey of love, betrayal, and spiritual awakening is articulated through Corelli's signature lyrical prose and her keen insight into human psychology. This novel, published in 1887, reflects the Victorian era's preoccupation with emotional depth and the quest for personal freedom, presenting a captivating exploration of the constraints placed upon women in society and the yearning for a deeper connection with the soul and nature. Marie Corelli, born into an era of strict social mores, often pushed against the boundaries of genre and propriety in her writing. Her own childhood experiences and passion for both literature and the arts influenced her collaborative spirit toward storytelling, allowing her to empathize with women facing societal challenges. Corelli, who gained popularity as one of the first female novelists to achieve commercial success, drew upon her fascination with mysticism and romanticism to craft narratives that resonated with the changing tides of society. "Thelma" is a must-read for anyone interested in classic literature that deftly combines romance with critical social commentary. Corelli's exploration of profound themes remains relevant today, providing insights into the continuous struggle for self-identity and emotional fulfillment. As readers are drawn into Thelma's world, they will find a reflection of their own desires and the timeless challenges of the human condition. In this enriched edition, we have carefully created added value for your reading experience: - A succinct Introduction situates the work's timeless appeal and themes. - The Synopsis outlines the central plot, highlighting key developments without spoiling critical twists. - A detailed Historical Context immerses you in the era's events and influences that shaped the writing. - A thorough Analysis dissects symbols, motifs, and character arcs to unearth underlying meanings. - Reflection questions prompt you to engage personally with the work's messages, connecting them to modern life. - Hand‐picked Memorable Quotes shine a spotlight on moments of literary brilliance. - Interactive footnotes clarify unusual references, historical allusions, and archaic phrases for an effortless, more informed read.
