Mr. Schney was known to all the house, from the principal of it down to the office boy, as simply Schney. Nobody there knew whether he was married or single, where he came from, what his past had been or his future would be; and nobody cared a copper.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book follows the journey of Conrad Schney, a porter at a wholesale grocery, as he leaves the life of service to pursue his ambition of becoming a distinguished member of society. His initial success through shrewd business dealings leads him to progressively abandon his principles as he prioritizes monetary gain and prestige. The novel explores Schney's changing identity in contrast with his wife's patient suffering and his daughter's search for meaning beyond their social circumstances. The story reflects the complexities and compromises of social mobility, and the sacrifices made in the pursuit of upward movement in society. The author delves into the consequences of Schney's ambition, painting a vivid picture of the moral decay and personal alienation that can accompany rapid social change.
