A Hazard of New Fortunes — Volume 1 by William Dean Howells
"A Hazard of New Fortunes — Volume 1" by William Dean Howells is a novel published in 1889. When Basil March moves from Boston to New York to launch a literary magazine, he enters a world of clashing ideologies and social tensions. His new publication brings together a volatile mix of characters: a socialist immigrant, a pro-slavery Southerner, and a ruthless capitalist financier. As their conflicting views collide against the backdrop of
labor unrest in late 19th-century New York, March finds himself caught between his ideals and harsh realities. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
