Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"None Other Gods" by Robert Hugh Benson is a novel likely written in the early 20th century. The story centers on Frank Guiseley, a young man who, after becoming a Catholic, is disowned by his father and decides to embark on a journey to live life on his own terms. Alongside his friend Jack Kirkby, readers are taken on an exploration of Frank's motivations, relationships, and the unconventional decisions he makes in defiance of societal norms. At the start of the novel, we are introduced through a dedicatory letter that expresses a sense of intimacy and admiration the author has for Frank. The narrative then paints a vivid picture of Frank and Jack in their Cambridge surroundings, highlighting Frank's reckless spirit and the growing tensions between him and his father after his conversion to Catholicism. Frank's impulsive nature leads to his plans for a dramatic departure from Cambridge, culminating in a public auction of his belongings. This opening sets the stage for a tale of adventure, self-discovery, and the exploration of faith, as Frank prepares to leave his old life behind in search of a new one on the roads.
