Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Mountain: A Novel" by Clement Wood is a work of fiction written in the early 20th century. The narrative explores the interplay between nature and human ambition, focusing on the lives of the Judson family as they settle on a mountain and grapple with personal and societal changes. The main character, Paul Judson, is driven by aspirations of success and expansion, which shapes the course of his family's life. The opening of the novel sets a backdrop filled with vivid descriptions of the mountain and its surrounding environment, establishing it as a character in its own right. It introduces the region’s geographical features and highlights the mountain's historical significance. As the narrative unfolds, we meet the Judson family, particularly Paul, who has big dreams for his future and ambitions that gradually lead to tensions within his family, especially concerning his relationship with his son, Pelham. The initial chapters set the stage for the tumultuous dynamics of ambition, familial love, and the struggle for identity against the backdrop of the changing American South.
