The Green Window is a novel written by Vincent O'Sullivan in 1899. The story is set in the late 19th century and follows the life of a young woman named Muriel St. Clare. Muriel is a beautiful and wealthy heiress who lives in a large mansion with her father, a successful businessman. However, despite her privileged upbringing, Muriel is unhappy and feels trapped in her sheltered life.One day, Muriel discovers a secret room in the mansion that contains a green-tinted window. When she looks through the window, she sees a world that is vastly different from her own. It is a world of poverty, suffering, and despair, but also of beauty and hope. Muriel becomes obsessed with the window and spends all her time looking through it, neglecting her duties and responsibilities.As Muriel's obsession grows, she begins to lose touch with reality and becomes increasingly isolated from her family and friends. Her father becomes concerned about her mental state and hires a doctor to treat her. However, the doctor is unable to help Muriel and she continues to spiral out of control.The Green Window is a haunting and thought-provoking novel that explores themes of wealth, privilege, and the human condition.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Leopold Classic Library is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive collection. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. Whilst the books in this collection have not been hand curated, an aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature. As a result of this book being first published many decades ago, it may have occasional imperfections. These imperfections may include poor picture quality, blurred or missing text. While some of these imperfections may have appeared in the original work, others may have resulted from the scanning process that has been applied. However, our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. While some publishers have applied optical character recognition (OCR), this approach has its own drawbacks, which include formatting errors, misspelt words, or the presence of inappropriate characters. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with an experience that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic book, and that the occasional imperfection that it might contain will not detract from the experience.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
