Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book, published at the close of the Victorian era, analyses and comments on the stark realities of the time. Set against the tale of a working-class girl whose fortunes change due to an inheritance, the author delves into the various ways in which poverty and destitution can ravage a life, and how individuals are forced to become hardened in order to survive. The story is interwoven with insights on the role of wealth, morality, and the great divide between the idle rich and the struggling poor. It examines whether the welfare system, and the charitable efforts of the well-to-do, truly delivers what it promises as the gulf of inequality widens. Ultimately, the book cautions that any society which allows such disparities to proliferate is a breeding ground for social unrest. It challenges us to dismantle the conditions that enslave countless people in order to build a just and equitable world.
