Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"All (Frightfully Unofficial) About an Old Friend of Mine" by Thomas C. Gash is a satirical work likely written in the late 19th century. The book appears to be a critique of societal norms and the treatment of workers within the financial and corporate sectors, using humor and illustrations to convey its messages. It presents a commentary on the disparity between wealth accumulation by employers and the struggles of their loyal employees. The narrative follows the life of a bank clerk who experiences the ups and downs of his career, revealing the harsh realities faced by workers in a capitalist society. The clerk dreams of being recognized and valued by his superiors as he dedicates years of his life to their service. However, as the book progresses, it becomes evident that the "good master" narrative often does not hold true, as workers are left without essential compensation or recognition for their contributions. Through whimsical illustrations and dialogue, the story emphasizes the disconnect between the aspirations of the working class and the indifferent attitude of the upper echelons, ultimately critiquing the exploitation embedded in the old economic structures.
