The Mighty Atom (1896) is a novel by Marie Corelli, published at the height of her career as one of the most successful writers of her generation. Combining realism, social commentary, and family drama, the novel tells a story of morality and the corruption of youth. Due for reassessment by a modern audience, Marie Corelli's work, which has inspired several adaptations for film and theater, is a must-read for fans of early science fiction.
"‘D—d—did I hear you rightly, sir? Ch—child-murder! ‘I repeat it, Mr. Valliscourt […] Child-murder! Take the phrase and think it over! You have only one child,—a boy of a most lovable and intelligent disposition […] and you are killing him with your hard and fast rules, and your pernicious "system" of intellectual training." Intended as a rallying cry to Christian readers, The Mighty Atom states quite clearly Correllis beliefs on progressivism and public education. Raised in a household of atheists, Lionel is left only with science to inform his thoughts and experiences. Early in the novel, his tutor, a religious Scotsman, is dismissed by the boys' father, Mr. Valliscourt. On his way out the door, however, he makes sure to state his mind to his employer. Despite his warning about the boys' perilous upbringing, Lionel will grow into a nervous, lonely young man. Addressing philosophical, scientific, and religious themes, The Mighty Atom is a moving work of fiction that asks important questions about an emerging modern world. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Marie Corelli's The Mighty Atom is a classic work of English science fiction reimagined for modern readers.
