Ardath

Ardath

by Marie Corelli

Ardath, by Marie Corelli, delves into the profound themes of spirituality, doubt, and the search for meaning in a world often perceived as cold and indifferent. Theos Alwyn, a disillusioned poet, embarks on a journey to a remote Caucasus monastery, seeking answers to his existential questions. This odyssey leads him to the mythical realm of Ardath, a place where the boundaries of reality dissolve, and the nature of the self is explored through dreams and visions. The novel weaves together elements of fantasy, gothic fiction, and philosophical inquiry, examining the power of faith, the limitations of rationalism, and the eternal human yearning for something beyond the tangible world.
