Ernest Bliss is 25 years old, handsome, very rich and very bored with the luxuries that define his superficial lifestyle. When a selfless doctor refuses to shake Bliss’s hand, the young hero grasps an unpleasant truth about himself. Now Bliss must discover if he has the pluck, ingenuity, and inner strength to transform his life.
This Zorba Press Classics edition of the book contains all the text in the original edition (published in 1919, the same year as another self-quest novel, Siddhartha), an illustration (the one and only) from the orginal book, and an essay about Oppenheim by Michael Pastore.
Praise for the Novels of E. Phillips Oppenheim (1866--1946)
"He is past master of the art of telling a story. He has humor, a keen sense of the dramatic, and a knack of turning out a happy ending just when the complications of the plot threaten worse disasters."
—New York Times
"Mr. Oppenheim has few equals among modern novelists. He is prolific, he is untiring in the invention of mysterious plots, he is a clever weaver of the plausible with the sensational, and he has the necessary gift of facile narrative."
—Boston Transcript
