| Summary | "The Message" by A. J. Dawson is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows the life and experiences of Richard Mordan, a young man navigating his way through the complexities of London after the death of his father. The narrative delves into themes of social reform, the stark contrasts between wealth and poverty, and the introspective dilemmas facing the protagonist as he grapples with his ideals against the backdrop of societal indifference. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Richard Mordan, a product of his time, as he reflects on his childhood, family dynamics, and the implications of his father’s death on their modest lives. Richard’s relationships with his sister Lucy and his friend Leslie Wheeler set the stage for his eventual journey to London, where he hopes to establish himself as a journalist and contribute to societal change. The opening chapters detail Richard's observations about the world around him, highlighting his discontent with social inequality and his desire for reform, which foreshadows the conflicts and developments he will face as he embarks on his new life in the bustling metropolis.
