A Hazard Of New Fortunes V3 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781162648729)

""A Hazard of New Fortunes"" is a novel written by William Dean Howells and published in 1890. It is the third volume in the series and continues the story of Basil March and his family as they navigate their way through the complexities of life in New York City during the late 19th century. The novel explores themes of social class, wealth, and the struggle for power and influence in a rapidly changing society. The March family faces challenges from both within and outside their social circle, as they try to maintain their position while also seeking to improve their fortunes. Along the way, they encounter a cast of characters from all walks of life, including working-class laborers, wealthy businessmen, and ambitious politicians. With its vivid descriptions of life in turn-of-the-century New York, ""A Hazard of New Fortunes"" is a fascinating portrait of a society in transition, and a compelling tale of one family's struggle to find their place in it.It was clear to Beaton that Dryfoos distrusted him; and the fact heightened his pleasure in Christine's liking for him. He was as sure of this as he was of the other, though he was not so sure of any reason for his pleasure in it. She had her charm; the charm of wildness to which a certain wildness in himself responded; and there were times when his fancy contrived a common future for them.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
