Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"A Man's World" by Albert Edwards is an autobiographical novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative begins with Arnold Whitman, the main character, reflecting on his life and the unconventional form of his writing, which he describes as a blend of memoir and meditation rather than a traditional autobiography. The book explores themes of justice, identity, and the pursuit of understanding the common man's life experiences. At the start of the story, Arnold introduces himself and shares that he was raised by his uncle, Rev. Josiah Drake. Through his early memories, he recounts his childhood experiences under the stern yet devoted care of his uncle and his aunt, Martha. Significant events from his youth, including the impact of an unjust punishment, shape his evolving understanding of justice. As he navigates through his formative years, he becomes increasingly aware of the conflicts between personal desires, societal expectations, and the teachings he receives at home, setting the stage for deeper explorations of his identity and beliefs as he matures.
