About this book
In the late 19th century, as industrialization reshaped society, "An Altruist" by Ouida emerges as a poignant exploration of moral philosophy amidst growing wealth disparities. The novel centers on Wilfrid Bertram, an idealistic protagonist who fervently advocates for altruism while confronting the skepticism of affluent socialites. Through Bertram's impassioned dialogues, readers will grapple with the tension between self-interest and the greater good, as he challenges the pervasive evils of wealth. This compelling narrative invites students and civic activists to reflect on the ethical implications of their own values in a rapidly changing world. Engage with Ouida’s thought-provoking themes and discover the enduring relevance of altruism in contemporary discourse.
