| Summary |
"Corianton: A Nephite Story" by B. H. Roberts is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. Set in the ancient Nephite civilization described in the Book of Mormon, the story revolves around themes of faith, redemption, and moral struggle. The narrative follows the experiences of Corianton, the son of a prominent Nephite priest, and explores his tumultuous journey from doubt and rebellion toward eventual repentance and spiritual growth. The plot begins with Corianton, who is imprisoned for his defiance against the church and his quest for personal freedom, engaging with the anti-Christ Korihor. As the story unfolds, Corianton grapples with his own beliefs, encounters powerful influences that lead him astray, and ultimately learns hard lessons about love, consequence, and faith. After a series of misguided choices, including a tumultuous relationship with a woman named Isabel, he faces public condemnation and personal despair. However, with the support of his brother Shiblon and the teachings of their father Alma, Corianton seeks forgiveness and learns about the importance of humility and the mercy of God, closing his arc on a note of hope and redemption.
