The Soul of a Bishop

Dive in and discover the depths of the human soul with H.G. Wells' masterful tale!

Drawing heavily from Wells’ own troubled relationship with religion during the First World War, the protagonist Bishop Scrope struggles with his faith. When Scrope embarks on a great journey, fuelled by psychedelic drugs, he believes he has met God and attempts to start his own church. While Scrope is spiralling, a widow moves into his house as his first follower - much to the dismay of his wife...

Drifting between the mystical and the humorous, ‘The Soul of a Bishop’ is a deeply personal story about a lost man trying to find his way in the world.

Teeming with fantastical images and family drama, this novel is ideal for fans of ´Under the Banner of Heaven´.

H. G. Wells (1866-1946) was an English author and Noble Prize in Literature nominee, prolific across several genres, and celebrated as the "father of science fiction". His notable science fiction works include the blockbuster hit adaptation ‘The Time Machine’, ‘The Invisible Man’, ‘The War of the Worlds’, and ‘When the Sleeper Walks’. Wells remains a significant influence on the sci-fi genre today.
