A Hazard Of New Fortunes V5 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781162687056)

""A Hazard of New Fortunes"" is a novel written by William Dean Howells, first published in 1889. The story revolves around the lives of two families, the Marches and the Dryfooses, who are both trying to make their way in the rapidly changing society of late 19th century New York City. The Marches are a middle-class family from Boston, while the Dryfooses are wealthy newcomers to the city, having made their fortune in the West. The novel explores themes of social mobility, class conflict, and the struggle to adapt to a new way of life in the face of rapid change. The characters are complex and nuanced, and the novel is notable for its realistic portrayal of everyday life in New York City during this time period. This is the fifth volume in a series of four books, and it continues the story of the March and Dryfoos families as they navigate the challenges and opportunities of life in the city. Overall, ""A Hazard of New Fortunes"" is a compelling and insightful work of fiction that offers a window into a fascinating period in American history.""Oh, you did, did you?"" said the girl, scarcely less insolently than she had spoken to Mrs. Mandel. ""I should like to know what you did it for? I'd like to know what made you think I wasn't able to take care of myself. I just knew somebody had been meddling, but I didn't suppose it was you. I can manage my own affairs in my own way, if you please, and I'll thank you after this to leave me to myself in what don't concern you.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
