A man’s rise from poverty to influence sets off a tense, stylish game of charm, risk, and ambition.
In Frederic Carrel’s Mr. Ames: The Art of Ascent, wealth, power, and desire collide on a path to a sweeping, world-spanning ascent.
In a tale where social status and personal vision collide, a restless protagonist leverages wit, marriage, and political clout to reshape his world. Across glittering salons, sea voyages, and a sharp eye for opportunity, the book follows a man who believes he can master both fortune and fate—until the costs of ascent become clear.
Set against a backdrop of travel, romantic entanglements, and high-stakes maneuvering, the story tracks ambition’s pull from quiet beginnings to a center stage where influence grows and loyalties shift. The novel blends psychological insight with a keen eye for social dynamics, inviting readers to watch power’s price unfold.
- Follow a self-made protagonist as he forges alliances, shifts of fortune, and strategic decisions.
- Experience social salons, luxurious travel, and the tension between wealth and ethics.
- Watch how personal relationships test ambition and reveal what truly matters.
- See how public influence and private choices intersect in a life spent chasing ascent.
Ideal for readers who enjoy character-driven fiction about ambition, charm, and the costs of pursuit.

However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become “PBShop.” This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first purchase with us, or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book.
