É um romance sobre o Apocalipse, uma narrativa sobre um tempo futuro, que em muitos aspectos já é o presente de nossa sociedade. Ele nos apresenta um mundo globalizado e tecnológico que negou a Deus e uma religião que se desvaneceu no humanitarismo sem alma. Uma sociedade relativista e materialista na qual a Igreja não se enquadra ... É um romance sobre o Apocalipse, uma narrativa sobre um tempo futuro, que em muitos aspectos já é o presente de nossa sociedade. Ele nos apresenta um mundo globalizado e tecnológico que negou a Deus e uma religião que se desvaneceu no humanitarismo sem alma. Uma sociedade relativista e materialista na qual a Igreja não se encaixa ... Quando tudo está pronto, um grande líder político, com uma aparência humanista e solidária, consegue unificar quase todo o planeta falando de paz ... mas se escondendo atrás de um grande mal Um livro de leitura obrigatória para qualquer leitor preocupado com a tendência de nossa sociedade. Definido pelo Papa Francisco - que tem frequentemente recomendado a sua leitura - como um romance que exemplifica "o espírito de mundanidade que nos leva à apostasia", já desde o momento da sua publicação, em 1907,

UM PESADELO SE ABATE SOBRE A CIVILIZAÇÃO O planeta que O Senhor do Mundo retrata é o mundo do Anticristo... e as semelhanças dele com o nosso são aterradoras. Nesse mundo, a paz universal é alcançada por meio do extermínio impiedoso daqueles que parecem ameaçá-la; o perdão dos pecados é alcançado pela proibição da religião; a eliminação da pobreza, pela introdução da comida sintética e pelo sacrifício dos inúteis e moribundos por meio da eutanásia. Tudo em nome da racionalidade, do progresso, do desenvolvimento pleno do homem. Nesse mundo, todas as diferenças individuais são eliminadas, todas as religiões são proibidas e o culto oficial, uma "religião da humanidade" artificial, é obrigatório. Quem acompanha o noticiário não pode deixar de espantar-se com a rapidez com que o nosso mundo caminha para tornar-se o pesadelo imaginado por Robert Hugh Benson. A eutanásia é prática cada vez mais corriqueira, o ambientalismo torna-se com rapidez uma nova religião da Natureza, a comida sintética já é uma realidade, organismos internacionais planejam abertamente a criação de um governo mundial e, em nome da tolerância, não se toleram pontos de vista divergentes. "O Senhor do Mundo está no mesmo patamar de Admirável Mundo Novo, de Huxley, e 1984, de Orwell, como clássico da ficção distópica. Em verdade, embora mereçam igual louvor como obras literárias, as obras-primas de Huxley e Orwell são obviamente inferiores como profecias. As ditaduras políticas que deram vigor ao romance-pesadelo de Orwell já deram o que tinham de dar. Hoje em dia, as lições da fábula orwelliana não servem senão como lembrete oportuno daquilo que aconteceu e que pode acontecer outra vez se as advertências da história não forem acatadas. O romance-pesadelo de Benson, por outro lado, está se tornando realidade bem diante dos nossos olhos." Joseph Pearce, autor de Tolkien — O homem e o mito.

Robert Hugh Benson (18 November 1871 - 19 October 1914) was an English Anglican priest who in 1903 was received into the Roman Catholic Church in which he was ordained priest in 1904. He was lauded in his own day as one of the leading figures in English literature, having written the notable novel Lord of the World (1907).Benson was the youngest son of Edward White Benson (Archbishop of Canterbury) and his wife, Mary, and the younger brother of Edward Frederic Benson and A. C. Benson.[1] Benson was educated at Eton College and then studied classics and theology at Trinity College, Cambridge, from 1890 to 1893.[2] In 1895, Benson was ordained a priest in the Church of England by his father, who was the then Archbishop of Canterbury. After his father died suddenly in 1896, Benson was sent on a trip to the Middle East to recover his own health. While there he began to question the status of the Church of England and to consider the claims of the Roman Catholic Church. His own piety began to tend toward the High Church tradition, and he started exploring religious life in various Anglican communities, eventually obtaining permission to join the Community of the Resurrection. Benson made his profession as a member of the community in 1901, at which time he had no thoughts of leaving the Church of England. As he continued his studies and began writing, however, he became more and more uneasy with his own doctrinal position and, on 11 September 1903, he was received into the Catholic Church. He was awarded the Dignitary of Honour of the Order of the Holy Sepulchre. Benson was ordained as a Roman Catholic priest in 1904 and sent to Cambridge. He continued his writing career along with his ministry as a priest.Like both his brothers, Edward Frederic Benson ("Fred") and Arthur Christopher Benson, Robert wrote many ghost and horror stories, collected in The Light Invisible (1903) and A Mirror of Shallott (1907). His novel, Lord of the World (1907), is generally regarded as one of the first modern dystopias (see List of dystopian literature). As a young man, Benson recalled, he had rejected the idea of marriage as "quite inconceivable". Benson was appointed a supernumerary private chamberlain to the Pope in 1911 and, consequently, styled as Monsignor

Lord of the World was written by the English writer and Catholic priest, Robert Hugh Benson.According to Benson, in the near future there will be a battle-to-the-death between Roman Catholic Church, the last stronghold of morality, and a pressing personification of the Antichrist. Socialism plays this role. The world has one government and one language - Esperanto, but the population is not united, nor puts trust in the promising future. Religion is banned, the Vatican is destroyed during bomb attacks, and the Pope with the remains of his administration has to seek safety in Palestine, where he observes the Second Coming...

His house stood facing northwards at the extreme end of a spur of the Surrey Hills, now cut and tunnelled out of all recognition; only to a Communist the view was an inspiriting one. Immediately below the wide windows the embanked ground fell away rapidly for perhaps a hundred feet, ending in a high wall, and beyond that the world and works of men were triumphant as far as eye could see. Two vast tracks like streaked race-courses, each not less than a quarter of a mile in width, and sunk twenty feet below the surface of the ground, swept up to a meeting a mile ahead at the huge junction. Of those, that on his left was the First Trunk road to Brighton, inscribed in capital letters in the Railroad Guide, that to the right the Second Trunk to the Tunbridge and Hastings district. Each was divided length-ways by a cement wall, on one side of which, on steel rails, ran the electric trams, and on the other lay the motor-track itself again divided into three, on which ran, first the Government coaches at a speed of one hundred and fifty miles an hour, second the private motors at not more than sixty, third the cheap Government line at thirty, with stations every five miles. This was further bordered by a road confined to pedestrians, cyclists and ordinary cars on which no vehicle was allowed to move at more than twelve miles an hour.
