E-text prepared by Al Haines
"The Unknown Wrestler" by H. A. Cody is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around themes of kindness, social justice, and the struggles of the disadvantaged, exemplified through the interactions of its main characters, such as the blind violinist, his daughter, and a mysterious protector who helps them in a time of need. This narrative appears to offer a blend of drama and adventure, likely exploring the dynamics between different social classes. The opening of the book introduces a poignant scene on the streets where a blind, elderly violinist and his daughter, Nan, strive to earn a meager living through music. Their struggles are compounded by the insensitivity of passersby, but a compassionate stranger steps in to confront their oppressors and skillfully plays the violin, gathering money and attention for the beleaguered duo. Following this incident, the girl expresses gratitude to the stranger for his kindness, setting the stage for an exploration of human compassion amidst societal challenges. This portion of the story establishes a foundation for themes of empathy, protection, and the often harsh realities of urban life, suggesting that the journey ahead will delve deeper into these social dynamics.
