Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Every Man for Himself" by Hopkins Moorhouse is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story kicks off with the character Philip Kendrick, a young man navigating the fog-filled streets of Toronto after a series of unfortunate events culminates in a black eye from a fight. As Kendrick reflects on his life and familial connections, particularly with his influential uncle, political tensions and the intrigue surrounding public figures begin to unfold. The opening of the book sets a moody atmosphere, characterized by mist and isolation, which serves as a backdrop for Kendrick's introspective journey. As he attempts to paddle across the bay, he unexpectedly encounters a mysterious woman who has seemingly intruded into his life. Their interaction hints at both romance and complication, establishing a sense of suspense that intertwines with Kendrick's concerns about his uncle's political dealings and the implications they may carry. The introduction interlaces personal dilemmas with broader themes of honor, family loyalty, and societal expectations, setting the stage for a narrative filled with intrigue and character exploration.
