Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Other Worlds" by Lena Jane Fry is a socio-political novel written in the early 20th century. The book addresses economic inequalities in society and explores themes of justice and community action through the lens of a visionary society aimed at alleviating the struggles caused by monopolistic trusts. The narrative centers around the Vivian family, particularly the youngest daughter Mira and her brothers and sisters, as they navigate the challenges posed by societal structures and class divides, ultimately seeking a more equitable arrangement for all. At the start of the narrative, the author introduces the context of economic hardship and the author's drive to uncover solutions for employment in a society plagued by monopolistic powers. Fry emphasizes the urgency for societal change through an angelic vision that propels her to write a story addressing the "Idol of Money" and its impact on people's lives. This sets the stage for the Vivian family's story, with Mira reflecting on her desire for adventure and freedom, while her brothers, especially Tom, actively engage in forming a society to promote independence from trusts. As the family gathers to celebrate their mother’s birthday, discussions arise about their emerging society and how it aims to break free from the oppressive systems in place, foreshadowing the trials and hopes that lie ahead for the characters.
