Synopsis

The Vision Splendid is a novel written by William MacLeod Raine. The story is set in the American West during the early 20th century and follows the life of a young man named Jack Harpe. Jack is a talented artist who dreams of becoming a successful painter, but his father wants him to follow in his footsteps and become a rancher. Despite his father's wishes, Jack leaves home to pursue his passion for art.As Jack travels across the West, he encounters a wide range of characters, including cowboys, outlaws, and artists. He also falls in love with a young woman named Belle, who shares his passion for art. Together, Jack and Belle work to overcome the challenges they face as they try to make a living as artists in a world that values practicality over creativity.Throughout the novel, Jack struggles to reconcile his love for art with his duty to his family and his community. He must also confront the harsh realities of life in the West, including violence, poverty, and prejudice. Despite these challenges, Jack remains committed to his dream of creating beautiful works of art that capture the beauty and majesty of the American West.The Vision Splendid is a compelling story of love, ambition, and the power of art to inspire and transform. It offers a vivid and realistic portrayal of life in the American West during a time of great change and upheaval.Perhaps the very freedom of these vacation excursions helped to feed his growing discontent. The yeast of rebellion was forever stirring in him. He wanted to come to life with open mind. He was possessed of an insatiable curiosity about it. This took him to the slums of Verden, to the redlight district, to Socialist meetings, to a striking coal camp near the city where he narrowly escaped being killed as a scab. He knew that something was wrong with our social life.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Présentation de l'éditeur

Of all the remote streams of influence that pour both before and after birth into the channel of our being, what an insignificant few—and these only the more obvious—are traceable at all. We swim in a sea of environment and heredity, are tossed hither and thither by we know not what cross currents of Fate, are tugged at by a thousand eddies of which we never dream. The sum of it all makes Life, of which we know so little and guess so much, into which we dive so surely in those buoyant days before time and tide have shaken confidence in our power to snatch success and happiness from its mysterious depths.—From the Note Book of a Dreamer.
