Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Robert Hardy's Seven Days: A Dream and Its Consequences" by Charles M. Sheldon is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story centers around Robert Hardy, a selfish and wealthy manager of a railroad shop who has neglected his duties as a husband and father. After a shocking dream convinces him that he has only seven days left to live, Hardy is determined to change his ways and confront the consequences of his past actions. The opening of the novel introduces Mr. Hardy returning home after an evening church service that he found dull and unsatisfactory. Frustrated, he engages in a bitter exchange with his wife, who points out his selfishness and lack of connection with their children. As Hardy reflects on his life, he learns of an industrial accident leading to the serious injury of a man who had once saved his life. This incident, coupled with a dream of facing Eternity, sets the stage for Hardy's emotional and spiritual awakening. The narrative captures his internal struggle and the beginning of his quest for redemption as he prepares to make his last days count.
