Excerpt from A Modern Quixote, Vol. 1
That this is the subtle process which, more and more, from day to day, is weighing the scale charged with the things seen, as against the scale Whose ethereal burden lies in the things unseen, that we sympathise with the efforts - sometimes blundering and mistaken, but more or less heroic, made by young men and women, every day, to cut the threads and escape from such bondage.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book, set in London in the late 1800s, paints a compelling picture of a time of social upheaval and unrest. As the rich enjoyed the latest luxuries, the poor suffered in poverty, and both sides prepared for a confrontation that would change England forever. The author deftly explores the widening gap between the classes, highlighting the hypocrisy of those who condemned the hungry and striking workers. The plight of these workers forms a compelling backdrop for a story that follows the awakening of a young man, Norman Colville, who is torn between his desire to help those less fortunate and his loyalty to his wealthy, conservative brother. Norman's journey forces him to confront the true nature of society's ills and the pressing need for change. Through vividly drawn characters and a skilled dissection of the human condition, this book sheds light on the ongoing struggle for equality and social justice, a struggle that still echoes in our world today.
