Publisher's Synopsis
The Shadow World is a novel written by American author Hamlin Garland. The story is set in the early 20th century and follows the life of a young man named Billy who is struggling to find his place in the world. He is disillusioned with his job in a factory and feels trapped in his small town. One day, he meets a mysterious woman named Eva who introduces him to a world of art, music, and literature. Eva is part of a group of bohemians who reject the mainstream culture of their time and live on the fringes of society. Billy is drawn to this new world and becomes involved in their activities, but he soon realizes that there is a darker side to their lifestyle. The group is plagued by poverty, addiction, and infidelity, and Billy must navigate these challenges as he tries to find his own path. The Shadow World is a thought-provoking exploration of the tensions between conformity and individuality, and the price of following one's dreams.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
