Summary | "A People's Man" by E. Phillips Oppenheim is a political novel written in the early 20th century. This work centers around the character Maraton, a man who returns to England after stirring events in America that have labeled him as a controversial revolutionary. The narrative captures the rising tensions and struggles of the working class, setting the stage for Maraton's role as a potential leader for societal change. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to several key characters, including Aaron Thurnbrein, a messenger conveying the news of Maraton's arrival, and David Ross, who expresses concern about the repercussions of Maraton's presence in London. Their excitement hints at a new movement brewing, propelled by Maraton’s vision. The opening chapters further depict the grim realities of the working class, their desperate circumstances, and their hopes for change, as well as the initial reactions of influential characters like Mr. Foley, highlighting political anxiety and conflicting ideologies. This sets a compelling foundation for Maraton's influence and the challenges he will face in navigating the complexities of revolution and leadership. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
