About this title

Synopsis

This book is a collection of short stories that follow the trials and tribulations of John Applejohn, a good man whose well-intentioned mishaps frequently lead to absurd situations. A man whose virtues stand out against the moral decay of his world, the author explores the nature of misinterpretation, social class, and the humanity that unifies all people. However, even with the most innocent intentions, the author shows us how the world interprets actions over motives, which often results in John facing social and romantic turmoil. Yet, through it all, John's philosophy remains intact: Act with good intentions and the universe will reward you; despite society's judgments, the individual will find truth in the end. This book serves as both a timeless social commentary and a heartwarming cast of characters to root for.
