Self’s the Man: A Tragi-Comedy (1901)

Self???????s The Man: A Tragi-Comedy is a novel written by John Davidson and published in 1901. The book is a satirical exploration of the concept of identity and the human condition, told through the story of a man named Self. Self is a successful businessman who becomes obsessed with the idea that he is the only real person in the world, and that everyone else is merely a figment of his imagination. The novel is divided into two parts, the first of which is a comedic portrayal of Self's delusions and the absurd situations that arise from them. The second part takes a darker turn, as Self's mental state deteriorates and he becomes increasingly isolated and paranoid. Davidson's writing style is characterized by its use of dark humor and biting social commentary. He uses Self's story to critique the values of the Victorian era, particularly the obsession with material success and the dehumanizing effects of modern society. Overall, Self???????s The Man: A Tragi-Comedy is a thought-provoking and entertaining work of literature that explores the complexities of human nature and the search for meaning in a rapidly changing world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
