Description
[Machine Translation] Alfred Polly was born into a poor shopkeeper's family and became an apprentice to a clothing merchant. He opens his own store with his father's inheritance, but it is on the verge of bankruptcy. He is also unable to get along with his cousin's wife, whom he married as a reaction to being dumped by a girl of high honor, and he makes a decision: he will set fire to his house and commit suicide with a razor blade, leaving his life insurance and fire insurance to his wife, and end his barren life. Wells' middle-aged comic novel, published in 1910. The "father of science fiction" projects his own youth into this comical and poignant depiction of the anguish of the lower middle class. This autobiographical work, which the author himself admits is his most beloved work, is a work of art. It is a story of a man's recovery from the "horrific hole" in his life. The first translation in Japan!
