Publisher's Synopsis
One of Our Conquerors (1891) is undoubtedly the most challenging of his books to read, because of its metaphors, extended sections of internal monologue, and indirect and cryptic writing. A book about an empire called One of our conquerors explains colonization, finance, and psychology on a vast scale. "One of Our Conquerors" is arguably one of George Meredith's smarter novels. However, it is worth reading the book because it tells the tale of Victor Radnor, a successful businessman and one of the "pillars of society," who began a happy marriage. Meredith, a brilliant psychologist, focused on the conundrum of the hero's exterior well-being and his awareness of his moral insignificance. Readers will have a memorable reading experience and plenty of food for thought after reading the fantastic and dramatic story!
