Synopsis

His Sombre Rivals is a novel written by E. P. Roe. The book tells the story of two men, Edward and Richard, who are competing for the love of the same woman, Grace. Edward is a wealthy businessman who is used to getting what he wants, while Richard is a struggling artist who is passionate about his work. Grace is torn between the two men, as she is attracted to Edward's wealth and power, but also drawn to Richard's creativity and sensitivity.As the story unfolds, the rivalry between Edward and Richard becomes increasingly intense, with both men determined to win Grace's heart. However, as they each try to outdo the other, they begin to realize that their competition is not just about Grace, but also about their own egos and desires. Meanwhile, Grace must decide which man she truly loves and whether she is willing to sacrifice her own happiness for the sake of their rivalry.Set against the backdrop of New York City in the late 19th century, His Sombre Rivals explores themes of love, ambition, and the struggle for power and recognition. With its vivid descriptions of the city's bustling streets and elegant society, the book offers a fascinating glimpse into a bygone era, while also providing a timeless tale of human emotion and desire.""Yes, I know she is engaged to your friend, Warren Hilland. She came over in the dusk of last evening, and, sitting just where you are, told me all. I kept up. It was not for me to reveal your secret. I let the happy girl talk on, kissed her, and wished her all the happiness she deserves. Grace is unlike other girls, or I should have known about it long ago. I don't think she even told her father until she had first written to him her full acknowledgment. Your friend, however, had gained her father's consent to his addresses long since. She told me that.""This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

"Beyond that revolving light lies my home. And yet why should I use such a term when the best I can say is that a continent is my home? Home suggests a loved familiar nook in the great world. There is no such niche for me, nor can I recall any place around which my memory lingers with especial pleasure." In a gloomy and somewhat bitter mood, Alford Graham thus soliloquized as he paced the deck of an in-coming steamer. In explanation it may be briefly said that he had been orphaned early in life, and that the residences of his guardians had never been made homelike to him. While scarcely more than a child he had been placed at boarding-schools where the system and routine made the youth's life little better than that of a soldier in his barrack. Many boys would have grown hardy, aggressive, callous, and very possibly vicious from being thrown out on the world so early. Young Graham became reticent and to superficial observers shy. Those who cared to observe him closely, however, discovered that it was not diffidence, but indifference toward others that characterized his manner. In the most impressible period of his life he had received instruction, advice and discipline in abundance, but love and sympathy had been denied. Unconsciously his heart had become chilled, benumbed and overshadowed by his intellect. The actual world gave him little and seemed to promise less, and, as a result not at all unnatural, he became something of a recluse and bookworm even before he had left behind him the years of boyhood.
