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. This handsome new edition has been completely re-typeset to be clear and complete.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68045180502304,"sku":"NEW1781393044","price":27.77,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71ZXRXzTljL.jpg?v=1793252931","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/lord-of-the-world-1781393044","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
