Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"A Far Country — Complete" by Winston Churchill is a novel written during the early 20th century. The book primarily focuses on the life and reflections of its narrator, Hugh Paret, who presents his experiences as a corporation lawyer in modern America. As he delves into his past, the narrative explores his inner life, societal influences, and the emotional turmoil that shapes his character rather than adhering to a conventional path. The opening of the novel introduces us to Hugh Paret, who reflects on his upbringing and the various influences that have contributed to his identity. He recalls his childhood in a city distinct from its present self, highlighting his parents' contrasting values, particularly the stern Calvinism of his father. These early chapters reveal Paret's struggle with his desires, ambitions, and the constraints imposed by his upbringing, woven together with vivid imagery of his childhood memories, including friendships, family dynamics, and the environment surrounding him. The narrative captures the essence of a romanticist grappling with the realities of life and the longing for self-definition in an ever-changing world.
