Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is an immersion into the late 19th century soul of a burgeoning capitalist society. The author, a skilled observer of economics and human nature, tells the story of the Kemenaer family and the dark secret that lurks beneath their fortune. The story begins with businessman M. Kemenaer, preoccupied as he contemplates his financial achievements, blind to the beauty of nature and deaf to his daughterâs impassioned plea for moral and ethical responsibility. In contrast, we are introduced to Berthold, a struggling artist and the love interest of M. Kemenaerâs daughter, who believes art can uplift the human spirit. In this conflict between pragmatism and idealism, the author explores the growing societal divide between art and commerce. The story is set against a backdrop of moral decay, represented by the dodgy dealings of Kemenaer's associates, such as the malicious Monck. The author intricately highlights the tension between the desire for wealth and the corrosive effects it can have on the human soul. This novel is an exploration of the tension between wealth and happiness, and the corrosive effect that greed can have on the human soul.
