Описание: Marie Corelli was the pseudonym used by Mary Mackay (1855-1924), an English novelist who enjoyed a period of great literary success from the publication of her first novel in 1886 until the time of WWI. Sales of her novels exceeded the combined sales of popular contemporaries, including Arthur Conan Doyle, H G Wells and Rudyard Kipling, although she faced criticism from the literary elite for her overly melodramatic style. She was the biological daughter of Scottish poet and songwriter Dr Charles Mackay, born to his servant, Elizabeth Mills. Aged 11 she was sent to a Parisian convent to further her education, returning in 1870 to embark on a career as a musician giving piano recitals. She later turned to writing and her first novel, A Romance of Two Worlds, was an immediate success. The novel references the contemporary debate between creationism and evolution, incorporating Corelli's futuristic insights including ideas about electricity, solar power, and the properties of the atom, and the work combines supernatural themes with these elements of science fiction. Many readers believed the novel to be autobiographical, an idea that Corelli encouraged. The character of Heliobas appears in two other of Corelli's novels, Ardath (1889) and The Soul of Lilith (1892), and a recurring theme in her work is her attempt to reconcile Christianity with reincarnation, astral projection, and other mystical ideas.

Описание: Excerpt from The Silence of the Maharajah Out in India at a certain English station which was generally admitted to be so cially fast, with that unique sort of fast ness peculiar to anglo-indian life, the leader of the most rapid set was a hand some, dashing woman, known to the irrev erent as Lolly, and to the more orthodox as Mrs. Claude Annesley. She was the wife of Colonel Claude Annesley, of course, but this fact had to be strongly borne in upon the minds of those who were not thoroughly well acquainted with her, be cause at first sight she did not appear to be the wife of anybody. She gave you the impression of being a free lance among women, joyously insolent and in dependent; and the bonds of matrimony seemed to press very lightly on her frivolous, butterfly soul. She was not what one would call positively young any longer, being a trifle over forty, but she was so slim and light on her feet, besides know ing exactly what kind of corsets would give her the most perfectly pliant and svelte figure, that she was generously allowed by her men friends (though not by her woman rivals) to pass for being still in the early thirties. She went in thoroughly, too, for all the newest methods of skin treatment and succeeded in pre serving a fresh, and even brilliant, natural complexion, despite the heats of India. She was tall and brown-haired, with dark eyes Which had a Sparkle of the devil's own mischief in them; she had very white, even teeth, and could smile bewitchingly.
