Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book encompasses two novellas by the writer John Reed Scott, whose tales of love and class explore the complexities of human nature and social convention in turn-of-the-century America. In the first, Burgoyne, a self-assured and affluent bachelor, must confront his prejudice against marrying beneath his class after a passionate encounter with a beguiling woman. Scott's exploration of social norms and the clash of societal expectations with personal desire is sensitively expressed through Burgoyne's struggle to reconcile his heart with his pride. The second novella, The Heel of Achilles, is a searing indictment of greed and corporate corruption. Grinder, a wealthy and powerful industrialist, manipulates the stock market for personal gain, thoughtlessly destroying the lives of innocent investors. Scott unflinchingly exposes the ruthlessness and moral bankruptcy that can accompany the pursuit of wealth, emphasizing the devastating consequences of prioritizing profit over human well-being. This book offers insightful social commentary, engaging themes, and a keen understanding of the human condition, making it a resonant read even today. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9780259373643_0
