Bag om Success

Success: A Novel is a classic American novel written by Samuel Hopkins Adams and first published in 1921. The story follows the life of a young man named Richard ""Dick"" Minot, who comes from a wealthy family but struggles to find his own path in life. As the novel progresses, Dick experiences a series of ups and downs, including a failed marriage, a stint in the army during World War I, and a successful career as a journalist. Along the way, he encounters a cast of colorful characters, including his love interest, the independent and strong-willed Paula Ferguson, and his best friend, the charming but unreliable Tommie Blessington. Through Dick's experiences, the novel explores themes of ambition, love, loyalty, and the pursuit of success in a rapidly changing world.
