Sinopse

Marie Corelli's novel, 'Ziska: The Problem of a Wicked Soul,' delves into the esoteric territories of supernatural, reincarnation, and fatal romance. With an eloquent prose that mirrors the book's early 20th-century context, Corelli weaves a dark narrative filled with Gothic sensibilities and melodramatic flair. The book invites readers into a world where an enigmatic Egyptian enchantress, Ziska, manifests in the heart of a European society to ensure her ancient desires and wrongs are addressed. Corelli's penchant for mystical themes plays out against the backdrop of a Cairo setting, a city choice that enriches the tapestry of the text with cultural resonance and historical gravitas
Marie Corelli, a figure both famed and lambasted in her time, was a prolific writer whose works engaged deeply with questions of morality, spirituality, and societal norms. The construction of 'Ziska' may reflect Corelli's own contemplations on the destructive nature of passion and the hubris of mankind. Corelli's fascination with the metaphysical is encapsulated within this novel, presenting her unique blend of romance and the occult which catered to and challenged the appetites of her Victorian audience.
For those captivated by the allure of Gothic romance and unraveling the complexities of the human soul across lifetimes, 'Ziska' offers a rich text that will not disappoint. Readers will be gripped by the tale's haunting spirit and Corelli's masterful exploration of themes that transcend time. Recommended for lovers of historical fiction and anyone keen to examine the darker corners of love and retribution through a supernatural lens, 'Ziska' is poised to provoke thought and stir the imagination.

    After the death of her husband, Miriam retreats into the quiet rhythm of quiltmaking and life on the farm. Each stitch is a thread of memory, a safeguard against a world that has taken too much. Her days are measured in silence—safe, predictable, untouched by risk.
 
Then Levi returns.
 
Her late husband’s cousin, long absent from the community, arrives to help with the harvest. He brings quiet strength, gentle hands, and a past that lingers like unfinished seams. Miriam never asked for company, especially not from someone who once cared too much, too silently.
 
Levi has carried his own burden of guilt for years. His feelings for Miriam were always hidden, always wrong. But now, as autumn settles in and hours are shared between fences, fields, and fading light, something stirs again—soft, tentative, undeniable.
 
In a world stitched by grief and custom, can two hearts find the courage to create something new from the silence between stitches?
