About this ebook
British writer Marie Corelli was among the most popular novelists of her era, earning the appreciation of even Queen Victoria herself. Within the first few pages of the addictive reincarnation romance Ziska, it's easy to understand why. A tale spanning centuries, this novel has something for everyone: gothic supernatural horror, ancient Egyptian folklore, a pair of star-crossed lovers, and even some satirical skewering of the pretensions of the British upper classes.
About the author
Marie Corelli (1 May 1855 -- 21 April 1924) was a British novelist. She enjoyed a period of great literary success from the publication of her first novel in 1886 until World War I. Corelli's novels sold more copies than the combined sales of popular contemporaries, including Arthur Conan Doyle, H. G. Wells, and Rudyard Kipling. Corelli was born in London. She wrote both fiction and nonfiction, short stories and dramatic plays. Some of her works were adapted to film and theatre productions. In her final years, Corelli lived on Stratford-Upon-Avon. She was considered to be eccentric and could be seen boating there in a gondola from Venice complete with a gondolier. Corelli died there in 1924 and is buried in the Evesham Road cemetery. Her house, Mason Croft, still stands on Church Street and is now the home of the Shakespeare Institute.
