Richard Mutimer is thrilled to inherit a considerable fortune, and as a dedicated socialist, he is determined to use it wisely. His vision is to create a factory where workers are treated with dignity and to support his partys ideals with his newfound wealth. However, the reality he faces may be more complex than he anticipated. This thought-provoking novel delves into pressing questions How significant is money in the pursuit of love, and can a man who has gained power still uphold socialist values? Beyond political turmoil, this is a compelling tale of personal transformation, exploring the many forces that shape an individual. Like other works by Gissing, it vividly depicts the struggles of the 19th-century London slums, the plight of the working class, and the dynamics of various families—some troubled, others remarkable. Esteemed author George Orwell admired this book, drawing inspiration from Gissings themes in his own writing. Notably, it stands out as Gissings only novel adapted into film. - Summary by Stav Nisser Note The audiobook preserves the original printed editions numbering, which includes two chapters labeled XXVI due to a printing error.
