QR code
"The Angel" by Guy Thorne is a philosophical novel written in the early 20th century. The story explores themes of spirituality, morality, and the existence of unseen forces that influence human lives, with a focus on the protagonist, Joseph Bethune, who grapples with his atheism and the traumatic events of his past. As he journeys towards a deeper understanding of life and faith, he encounters significant characters that challenge his beliefs and
provide opportunities for transformation. At the start of the narrative, we are introduced to Joseph Bethune, a disillusioned scholar struggling with his identity and existence after being ostracized for his outspoken atheism. As he wanders through London's East End, he experiences an emotional upheaval that leads to a series of critical encounters, including a moment where he prevents a woman from drowning her child. Following an accident where he is nearly crushed, he is taken to a hospital and later summoned by Lluellyn Lys, a hermit and teacher in the Welsh mountains, under mysterious circumstances that hint at a divine purpose. This opening sets the stage for Joseph’s exploration of the spiritual realm, as he begins to uncover truths that redefine his understanding of life and faith.
