Description
The Melbournians is a novel written by Francis Adams and first published in 1892. The story is set in Melbourne, Australia, during the late 19th century and follows the lives of several characters from different social classes. The main protagonist is a young man named Richard Mahony, who is a doctor struggling to establish himself in the city. He is married to his childhood sweetheart, Mary, but their relationship becomes strained as Richard becomes increasingly consumed by his work.The novel also features a cast of other characters, including politicians, businessmen, and artists, who are all trying to make their way in the bustling city. There are love affairs, political scandals, and personal tragedies that unfold throughout the book, all set against the backdrop of Melbourne's rapidly changing landscape.Adams' writing style is descriptive and vivid, capturing the sights, sounds, and smells of the city in great detail. He also explores themes of class, ambition, and the struggle for identity in a rapidly changing world. The Melbournians is considered a classic of Australian literature and provides a fascinating glimpse into the social and cultural history of Melbourne during the late 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
