About this book
In the late 19th century, societal norms were rigid, and individualism often clashed with expectations. "The Folly Of Eustace" by Robert Hichens delves into this tension through the life of Eustace Lane, a young man grappling with his eccentricities and the weight of societal judgment. As he navigates a world obsessed with appearances, themes of identity and self-discovery emerge, revealing the profound impact of societal constraints on personal freedom. This novel invites students and civic activists alike to reflect on the dichotomy between authenticity and conformity. Hichens’ sharp prose and vivid characterizations make this work a compelling exploration of the human condition, urging readers to question the very nature of folly in their own lives.
