About this book
Two friends read the world in opposite terms, and Will Lillibridge builds his story around their long disagreement. Stephen Armstrong is a young university man who trusts feeling, conscience, and personal aspiration, while his friend Darley Roberts, a coldly practical lawyer, measures nearly every choice, including love and friendship, against its financial cost and reward. Set in an unnamed American university town at the turn of the twentieth century, the novel follows their argument over ambition, security, and how far the pursuit of money should govern private life. First published in 1909, the year Lillibridge died, it belongs to the American realist tradition that examined the price of success. Readers who enjoy social novels about class, character, and the quiet pressure of money will find a patient, clear-eyed study of two temperaments and the people caught between them.
