A Hazard Of New Fortunes Part 5 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781419151132)

""A Hazard of New Fortunes V5"" is a novel by William Dean Howells, originally published in 1890. It is the fifth volume in a series of novels that explore the social, political, and economic changes that occurred in the United States during the late 19th century. The story follows the lives of a group of characters who are struggling to adapt to the rapidly changing world around them. The main character, Basil March, is a journalist who moves to New York City with his wife and children in search of a better life. Along the way, he meets a diverse cast of characters, including a wealthy businessman, a struggling artist, and a group of social reformers. Through their interactions, Howells explores themes of class, race, gender, and the role of the media in shaping public opinion. The novel is known for its realistic portrayal of urban life and its nuanced approach to social issues. It is considered a classic of American literature and a significant contribution to the literary movement known as realism.""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.
