Catalogue synopsis

Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:

"The Research Magnificent" by H. G. Wells is a novel published in 1915. It follows William Porphyry Benham, a man of inherited wealth who devotes his life to an ambitious quest: living nobly and thoroughly. His journey takes him from England across India, Russia, China, and South Africa as he grapples with four fundamental obstacles to human nobility—fear, self-indulgence, jealousy, and prejudice. Through passionate relationships and philosophical struggles, Benham pursues wisdom until a fatal encounter during a labor strike ends his search.
