Sacred and Profane Love is a novel by Arnold Bennett, first published in 1905. The story follows the life of Denry Machin, a young man who rises from humble beginnings to become a successful businessman and socialite in the fictional town of Bursley. Along the way, he becomes involved with two women: Nellie Cotterill, a virtuous and religious woman who Denry courts for marriage, and Countess de Chirac, a glamorous and worldly woman who seduces Denry into an affair.The novel explores themes of love, ambition, and morality, as Denry must navigate the competing demands of his personal and professional life. Bennett's writing is characterized by his keen insight into human nature and his ability to capture the nuances of social interactions. The novel is also notable for its depiction of the changing social landscape of early 20th century England, as Denry rises from working-class roots to become a member of the upper echelons of society.Overall, Sacred and Profane Love is a compelling and thought-provoking novel that offers a rich portrait of life in turn-of-the-century England. It is a must-read for fans of classic literature and anyone interested in exploring the complexities of human relationships and societal norms.I had acquaintances in Torquay, but I soon discovered that the place was impossible for me. Torquay is the chosen home of the proprieties, the respectabilities, and all the conventions. Nothing could dislodge them from its beautiful hills; the very sea, as it beats primly, or with a violence that never forgets to be discreet, on the indented shore, acknowledges their sway. Aphrodite never visits there; the human race is not continued there. People who have always lived within the conventions go there to die within the conventions. The young do not flourish there; they escape from the soft enervation.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
