Summary | "The Man Who Rose Again" by Joseph Hocking is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Radford Leicester, a cynical, heavy-drinking young politician who, after a night of introspection and conversation with friends in a London club, accepts a wager to prove that a virtuous woman would overlook his moral failings if he offers her a chance at social prominence. His challenge raises ethical questions about the intentions behind relationships and the value of personal integrity versus ambition. The opening of the story introduces a dialogue among four young men in a smoking-room discussing politics and personal matters late into the night. Leicester, characterized by his striking presence, is engaged in a bitter challenge about his worthiness to court the most sought-after heiress in London, Olive Castlemaine, despite his acknowledged flaws. Amidst conversations laden with sarcasm and a sense of foreboding, Leicester expresses a desperate determination to prove his theory—that women are primarily motivated by social standing—by courting Olive, ostensibly for a wager. This sets the stage for a psychological exploration of his character and the complexities of human relationships. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
