One Traveller Returns (1888)

One Traveller Returns is a novel written by David Christie Murray and first published in 1888. The book tells the story of a man named Stephen Knight, who returns to England after spending several years traveling abroad. He has been away for so long that he is virtually unknown to his family and friends, and he finds himself struggling to fit back into his old life. As he tries to reconnect with the people he left behind, Stephen discovers that much has changed in his absence. His father has died, leaving the family business in disarray, and his former fianc�����e has married someone else. Stephen also finds himself attracted to a woman named Hester, who is engaged to his best friend. Throughout the novel, Stephen grapples with his feelings of displacement and his attempts to find his place in a world that has moved on without him. He must also navigate the complex web of relationships and social expectations that surround him, as he tries to decide what he truly wants out of life. One Traveller Returns is a poignant exploration of the themes of identity, love, and belonging, and is widely considered to be one of Murray's most accomplished works.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
