Summary "The Undefeated" by J. C. Snaith is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story presents Mr. William Hollis, a greengrocer, as he navigates themes of failure, societal expectations, and the weight of personal and family legacy against the backdrop of a brewing war. The book provides a character study of Hollis, whose introspective nature leads him to reflect on his disappointments and aspirations, making him both relatable and tragic. At the start of the story, the oppressive heat of a summer day sets the stage in a small garden where William Hollis converses with his neighbor, Mr. Goldman. Hollis expresses his disdain for the mundane concerns of business, reminiscing about cricket and contemplating larger issues, including international tensions brewing in Europe. As a poignant reminder of his lack of success, Hollis reflects on his past aspirations and relationships—especially with his estranged wife, Melia, and her domineering father, Mr. Munt. The narrative unfolds with moments of light-hearted banter, revealing Hollis's complex struggles with his identity and the social class hierarchy he feels trapped within, all while hinting at the upcoming turmoil of World War I.
