Omschrijving

Empty Pockets is a novel written by Rupert Hughes and first published in 1915. Set in the early 20th century, the story follows the life of a young man named Tommie Marsh who is struggling to make ends meet. He comes from a wealthy family but has been cut off from his inheritance due to his reckless behavior. With no money and no job, Tommie is forced to rely on his wit and charm to survive in the big city.Throughout the novel, Tommie faces numerous challenges and setbacks as he tries to make a name for himself. He falls in love with a beautiful young actress named Polly Courtland, but their relationship is threatened by her disapproving father and Tommie's lack of financial stability. Meanwhile, Tommie's former friend and rival, Jack Delancy, is determined to bring him down and steal Polly away.As Tommie navigates the ups and downs of his life, he learns valuable lessons about love, loyalty, and the importance of hard work. The novel offers a vivid portrayal of life in early 20th century America, with its bustling cities, glamorous theaters, and social hierarchies. It also explores themes of class, ambition, and the pursuit of the American dream.Overall, Empty Pockets is a compelling and entertaining novel that offers a glimpse into a bygone era. With its engaging characters, richly detailed setting, and timeless themes, it remains a classic of American literature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
