A World Without Souls (1818)

by John William Cunningham

Book Overview

A World Without Souls is a novel written by John William Cunningham and published in 1818. The story takes place in a dystopian future where the government has banned religion and the belief in souls. The main character, Edward, is a young man who is struggling to come to terms with the loss of his mother and the absence of any spiritual guidance in his life. He becomes involved with a group of rebels who seek to overthrow the government and restore faith to society. Along the way, Edward falls in love with a woman named Sophia who shares his beliefs and joins him in the fight against the oppressive regime. The novel explores themes of faith, love, and the importance of individual freedom in a society that seeks to control every aspect of its citizens' lives. Cunningham's work is a thought-provoking commentary on the dangers of totalitarianism and the power of spirituality to inspire change.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
