A proposito di questo titolo

 The Damnation of Theron Ware (published in England as Illumination) is a captivating 1896 novel by American author Harold Frederic, hailed as a cornerstone of American realism. Set against the backdrop of turn-of-the-century provincial America, it delves into the complexities of religious life and the stifling intellectual and artistic atmosphere of small towns. The story follows Theron Ware, a Methodist pastor who has recently settled in a fictional small town in the Adirondack Mountains—drawing inspiration from Utica, New York. As a promising young minister, recently wed, Theron embarks on a tumultuous journey of self-discovery, grappling with profound questions about his faith, his vocation, and the very existence of God. His moral decline—or illumination—intensifies through interactions with Father Forbes, the towns Catholic priest; Dr. Ledsmar, a local atheist and philosopher; and Celia, an enchanting Irish Catholic girl who captures Therons heart and leads him further astray.
