Summary "Lewis Arundel; Or, The Railroad Of Life" by Frank E. Smedley is a novel written in the mid-19th century." The story follows the life of Lewis Arundel as he navigates challenges after the death of his father and the ensuing poverty that befalls his family. Central characters include Lewis, his sister Rose, and their mother, who cope with grief while discussing future plans for income and employment to support their household. "The opening of the novel introduces us to the Arundel family as they await Lewis's return from his time abroad in Germany." Rose Arundel and her mother, clad in mourning, express their worries about their financial state and future, revealing their recent tragedy— the sudden death of Lewis's father. As the family reunites, emotions run high with grief, love, and determination, establishing a poignant backdrop while foreshadowing Lewis's struggles with ambition and responsibility in a changing social landscape. The blend of familial bonds and societal pressures sets the stage for this compelling journey of resilience and self-discovery. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
