| Summary | "Swirling Waters" by Max Rittenberg is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around Clifford Matheson, a successful financier grappling with the demands of his ambitious wife, Olive, and the moral dilemmas of high-stakes business. As Matheson navigates the pressures of his financial empire, he contemplates a significant change in both his personal and professional life, motivated by a desire to escape the superficiality of his current existence. The opening of the novel introduces us to Clifford Matheson on a pivotal night as he races to the Gare de Lyon, where he faces frustration from his wife and father-in-law for his tardiness. Despite their impatience, he is distracted by thoughts of an important deal involving the shipowner Lars Larssen and hints at a troubled relationship with his half-brother, John Rivière. As Clifford grapples with his weariness from the financial world, he reflects on a past experience involving his brother that implies a struggle between ambition and a longing for deeper meaning in life. The narrative sets the stage for a transformative journey, marked by themes of identity and moral conflict. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
