Omschrijving

The Midlanders by Charles Tenney Jackson is a novel set in the American Midwest during the early 20th century. The story follows the lives of two families, the Midlanders and the Bassetts, who are neighbors and business partners in a small town. The Midlanders are a wealthy and influential family, while the Bassetts are struggling to make ends meet. The novel explores the themes of power, greed, and social class as the two families navigate their complex relationships with each other.The Midlanders are led by patriarch Thomas Midlander, a successful businessman who is determined to maintain his family's wealth and status. His daughter, Alice, is engaged to marry the son of a wealthy Chicago family, but she begins to question her own desires and the expectations placed upon her. Meanwhile, the Bassetts are led by John Bassett, a hardworking farmer who is struggling to keep his farm afloat. His son, Jack, becomes involved with Alice Midlander, leading to further tensions between the two families.As the Midlanders and Bassetts become increasingly entangled in each other's lives, old secrets and resentments come to light. The novel ultimately explores the ways in which power and wealth can corrupt individuals and tear families apart. With vivid descriptions of the Midwestern landscape and a cast of complex characters, The Midlanders is a compelling exploration of the human condition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
