Phillips (Edward Phillips) 1866 1946 Partridge, Anthony Oppenheim, Edward Phillips A Millionaire of Yesterday Produced by An Anonymous Project Gutenberg Volunteer, and David Widger “A Millionaire of Yesterday” by E. Phillips Oppenheim is a novel likely written in the early 20th century. It explores themes of wealth, ambition, and the stark contrasts between different social classes through the eyes of its main character, Scarlett Trent, and his interactions with his partner, Monty. The beginning of the story sets the stage for an adventurous yet gritty narrative centered around their quest for fortune in a harsh and unforgiving landscape. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Scarlett Trent and Monty, who find themselves in a filthy and dangerous situation in an impoverished area of Africa. Trent's practical, rugged disposition contrasts sharply with Monty’s refined yet weakened state as they discuss their dire circumstances and aspirations for wealth. As they await a witness to their mining concession, the narrative develops tension not only from their external environment but also from Monty’s struggles with alcohol and Trent's frustrated ambition. The opening establishes a compelling dynamic between the characters and hints at higher stakes in their pursuit of fortune, setting the stage for further conflict as they confront both their personal demons and the challenges posed by the wilderness around them.
