A Politician In Trouble About His Soul is a satirical novel written by Auberon Herbert and first published in 1884. The book follows the story of a politician named George Austin who is struggling with his conscience and the corrupt nature of politics. Austin is a successful politician who has risen to the top of his party through cunning and manipulation, but he begins to question the morality of his actions.As he grapples with his conscience, Austin seeks guidance from various religious and philosophical figures, including a priest, a philosopher, and a mystic. Each encounter leads him further down a path of self-discovery and spiritual awakening, but also puts him at odds with the political establishment.The novel is a biting critique of the political system and the moral compromises that politicians must make to succeed. It also explores themes of personal responsibility, redemption, and the search for meaning in life.Overall, A Politician In Trouble About His Soul is a thought-provoking and entertaining read that offers a unique perspective on the intersection of politics and spirituality.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
