Bag om Agatha Page

Agatha Page: A Parable is a novel written by Isaac Henderson and published in 1889. The story revolves around the titular character, Agatha Page, a young woman who is raised in a strict religious household. Agatha's father is a minister who believes in the strict interpretation of the Bible and does not allow his daughter to read anything other than religious texts. Despite her sheltered upbringing, Agatha is a curious and intelligent young woman who yearns for knowledge and experiences beyond her narrow world. She eventually meets a young man named Robert, who introduces her to the world of literature and art. Agatha is fascinated by these new ideas and begins to question her father's teachings. As she continues to explore the world outside of her home, Agatha becomes increasingly conflicted between her desire for knowledge and her loyalty to her father and his beliefs. The novel explores themes of religious extremism, intellectual curiosity, and the struggle between tradition and progress. Henderson uses Agatha's story as a parable for the larger societal issues of his time, including the tension between science and religion and the changing roles of women in society. The novel is a thought-provoking exploration of the human condition and the search for meaning and purpose in life.This Book Is In English.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
