| Summary | "A Little World" by George Manville Fenn is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story centers around the contrasting lives of two brothers, Richard and Jared Pellet, in London, exploring themes of family, class disparity, and the pursuit of happiness. Richard is wealthy and self-assured, while Jared struggles with poverty yet finds joy in his family and music. The opening portion introduces us to the Pellet brothers, focusing on Richard, who perceives his brother as a fool for his choices, particularly his modest life as a musical instrument tuner. The narrative delves into Richard's disdain for Jared, who marries for love rather than money and has a large family, contrasting with Richard's material success. We also meet Patty, Jared's daughter, noted for her beauty and innocence. As we proceed, we witness Jared's aspiration to become the organist at a local church, setting the stage for exploration of his character and familial dynamics amidst societal pressures. This beginning establishes a rich backdrop for the unfolding drama and relationships that define their lives. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
