Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The Sixth Sense: A Novel" by Stephen McKenna is a literary work likely written in the early 20th century, specifically around 1915. The novel explores themes of personal identity, social change, and the complexities of human relationships through the eyes of its protagonist, Toby Merivale, who has returned to London after twenty years abroad and must navigate the shifts in society and politics he encounters. At the start of the book, the protagonist reflects on the changes in London after his long absence, observing urban development and socio-political trends, particularly regarding the suffrage movement. As he contemplates his place in this new landscape, he reconnects with old friends and acquaintances, including Arthur Roden and Joyce Davenant, who are intricately involved in contemporary political affairs. Toby's observations and his interactions with these characters set the stage for an exploration of the intersection between personal desire and public duty, all while hinting at deeper emotional and psychological questions about identity and purpose.
