Excerpt from The God of This World: A Story for the Times On a bright sunny day in the month of June, 1986, a young man sat in a spacious apartment in one of the large mansions which overlook the Royal Gardens in the Imperial City. Luxury surrounded him on every side. The room, which was octagonal in form, bore evidence of the refinement in taste, in art, and in science which was to be expected of that advanced age. The ceiling was a glory of artistic work, crowded with voluptuous figures, and the painted panellings of the walls, while not varying from the theme, excelled in the soft luxuriance of the scenes and the figures which were portrayed. The appointments of this chamber were in keeping with the magnificence of its decorations. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
