Synopsis
Excerpt from The Fortunate Island: And Other Stories
It is a great thing to live a long life in a region of entrancing beauty. Wherever you turn your eyes in our sweet country you have a view of fairyland.
All the far-reaching country-side is charming; there are no fairer views of billowy hills and grassy meadows. But the valley of the river presents the most alluring of them all, for the perfect landscape must include water.

The Fortunate Island: And Other Stories (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a captivating collection of humorous short stories that take a satirical look at the late 19th-century American middle class. The author pokes fun at the social climbers, the hypocrites, and the puritanical attitudes of the time. The stories revolve around a cast of characters who are all trying to keep up with the Joneses and maintain a respectable facade, even when their actions are anything but respectable. Along the way, the author explores themes of greed, ambition, and the dangers of conformity. Ultimately, this book provides a witty and insightful commentary on the human condition, showing us how our desire for acceptance can lead us down a path of absurdity.
