Produced by Tor Martin Kristiansen and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "Vrakets hemmelighet" by Robert Louis Stevenson and Lloyd Osbourne is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around Loudon Dodd, the son of a wealthy businessman, who aspires to become a sculptor in Paris, influenced by his father's desire for him to succeed in commerce. As Loudon navigates his artistic ambitions, he must confront familial expectations, personal aspirations, and the social struggles he faces as a young artist. The opening of the novel introduces Loudon Dodd, who reflects on his upbringing in Muskegon and his strong inclination towards art, much to the dismay of his business-savvy father. After failing as a businessman and gaining his father's reluctant approval to pursue sculpting, Loudon heads to Paris, where he begins a new life. His journey intertwines with familial relations and friendships, particularly with Jim Pinkerton, a self-made entrepreneur. As Loudon settles into the artistic world, a series of challenges and whimsical encounters depict his transformation from a sheltered millionaire’s son to a struggling artist amid the vibrant yet unforgiving backdrop of Paris.
