It follows the fortunes of an M.P. and his wife, who come under the sway of the antichrist figure, the titular Lord of the World, who appears to promise a heaven on earth, and a catholic priest, who is fighting to keep the Church alive through its many tribulations. It is highly readable and seems prescient on many counts - the rise of communist states, the advent of air travel and the dominating power of a forceful leader - but its strong Catholic bias has tended to limit its readership. Pope Francis has said of this book: \"the author speaks of the spirit of the world that leads to apostasy almost as though it were a prophecy, as though he envisioned what would happen... I advise you to read it.\" This handsome new edition has been completely re-typeset to be clear and complete.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 336\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.75 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 11, 2015\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52538780188979,"sku":"9781781394557","price":29.21,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/RmlZT3I5dk82cEptSlNONFUyTTFYQT09.webp?v=1760846268","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/products\/lord-of-the-world-paperback-11","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
