The Town Traveller the Town Traveller (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781161479188)

The Town Traveller is a novel written by George Gissing which was first published in 1898. The story follows the life of a man named Arthur Golding who is a successful businessman in London. Despite his success, he feels unfulfilled and yearns for something more meaningful in his life. One day, he decides to take a break from his routine and travels to a small town in the countryside. There, he meets a group of people who are living a simpler and more contented life than he is. He becomes fascinated by their way of life and begins to question his own values and priorities. As he spends more time in the town, he begins to see the flaws in his own life and starts to make changes. However, his newfound happiness is short-lived as he is forced to return to London and face the reality of his old life. The Town Traveller is a thought-provoking novel that explores the themes of identity, social class, and the search for meaning in life.Here, on the quiet pavement shadowed by the College of Surgeons, she lingered in expectancy. Ten was striking, but she looked in vain for the figure she would recognize -- that of a well-dressed, middle-aged man, with a white silk comforter about his neck, and drawn up so as to hide his mouth. Twice she had met him here, and on each occasion he was waiting for her when she arrived. Five minutes passed -- ten minutes. She grew very impatient and, as a necessary consequence, very angry.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
