Synopsis

Across a sharp, witty campus‑to‑society world, a keen young scholar lets curiosity lead the way—and stirs up more than a few minds in the process.

The book follows a determined and observant woman known for her careful study of minds and moods. While she catalogs impulses, loves, and social games, her circle of friends and rivals reflects a campus culture turned social laboratory. The scenes blend academic rigor with playful, sometimes biting, commentary on ambition, romance, and the messiness of real life. The tone is brisk, the stakes personal, and the humor often comes from the clash between theory and living human nature.

Expect a blend of character sketches, social satire, and moments that feel like a field report on how people think, feel, and behave when tested by pride, affection, and the pull of status.

• Vivid portraits of scholars, debutantes, and the social world that surrounds them.


• Witty, accessible storytelling that balances theory with intimate, humorous moments.


• Observations on how ideas about mind and motive collide with everyday choices.


• A lively pace that keeps the focus on character and temperament as much as plot.

Ideal for readers who enjoy character-driven satire, early psychology, and social farce that doubles as a thoughtful look at ambition and affection.

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.
