| Summary | "The Golden Web" by E. Phillips Oppenheim is a novel written in the early 20th century. The book delves into the intertwined lives of its characters against a backdrop of intrigue and moral dilemmas revolving around wealth and survival. The main character, Stirling Deane, is a wealthy director of a mining corporation who becomes embroiled in a perilous situation involving a desperate man named Basil Rowan, whose future hangs in the balance due to unexpected circumstances and violent encounters. The opening of the novel sets the stage for an intense confrontation between Deane and Rowan, where Rowan, disheveled and desperate, seeks help after returning from Africa. The contrast between their appearances and circumstances underscores the themes of success and failure. Deane, at the peak of his career, is hesitant to assist Rowan, who is on the brink of ruin. The narrative quickly escalates as Rowan reveals his terminal illness and need for a quick financial solution. Deane’s moral conflict intensifies when he learns that Rowan has taken a dangerous path to redeem himself, leading to a complicated and tense plot as the characters navigate issues of loyalty, desperation, and the weighty consequences of their choices.
