Présentation de l'éditeur
Oakland, on the smooth blue surface of the bay of San Francisco, on the bald head of Goat Island bald as that of a married man on the shining windows of the houses on Alcatraz I sland, on the ship ping, on the warehouses along the water-front, on the city of San Francisco, and coming further to the west, its rays fell in a perfect blaze on the white front of one of the old-time decaying hotels on the north end of Kearney street a hotel that at one time had been a first-class house, but which had at last been given up to the poorer classes. A chambermaid, walking with a lively step along the rickety porch which ran in front of the second story of the building, with a green tin slop-pail in her liand, suddenly stopped and stood in a listening atti tude.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This captivating tale follows Junius Oldbiegh, a jovial miner who strikes it rich and ventures into the bustling city of San Francisco, determined to become a society snob. However, his journey is filled with hilarious misadventures as he navigates the unfamiliar customs and characters of urban life. From comical clothing mishaps to bewildering encounters with eccentric individuals, Oldbiegh's pursuit of the high life is a rollercoaster of laughter and absurdity. Set against the backdrop of late 19th-century San Francisco, the book offers a glimpse into the social landscape of the time, where the pursuit of wealth and status was rampant. Through Oldbiegh's misadventures, the author skewers the excesses and pretensions of Gilded Age society, providing a humorous commentary on the human desire for recognition and acceptance. Ultimately, the book is a celebration of individuality and self-acceptance, as Oldbiegh learns to embrace his eccentric nature and find his place in a world that often seems to value superficiality over substance. It is a reminder that true happiness lies in being true to oneself, regardless of societal expectations. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
