Beskrivelse af A Poor Wise Man
A Poor Wise Man is a novel written by Mary Roberts Rinehart. The story revolves around a man named John Gilman, who is born into poverty but possesses an extraordinary intellect. Despite his financial struggles, John is determined to make a better life for himself and his family.As he grows older, John's intelligence and hard work pay off, and he becomes a successful businessman. However, his success is threatened when he falls in love with a wealthy woman named Elizabeth Wheeler. Elizabeth's family disapproves of the match, and John must navigate the challenges of class differences and societal expectations.As John and Elizabeth's relationship develops, they face a series of obstacles that test their love and commitment to each other. Along the way, John discovers the true meaning of success and happiness, and learns that true wealth is measured not in material possessions, but in the love and support of those around him.A Poor Wise Man is a heartwarming and inspiring story of love, perseverance, and the power of the human spirit to overcome adversity. Rinehart's masterful storytelling and vivid characters make this novel a timeless classic that will resonate with readers of all ages.1920. American writer of mystery novels known for their humor and ingenuity. The book begins: The city turned its dreariest aspect toward the railway station; blackened walls, irregular and ill-paved streets, gloomy warehouses, and over all a gray, smoke-laden atmosphere which gave it mystery and often beauty. Sometimes the softened towers of the great steel bridges rose above the river mist like fairy towers suspended between Heaven and earth. And again the sun tipped the surrounding hills with gold, while the city lay buried in its smoke shroud, and white ghosts of river boats moved spectrally along.
