Waiting: An Allegorical Story (1885)

Waiting: An Allegorical Story is a novel written by Sarson C. J. Ingham and first published in 1885. The book is a work of allegory and tells the story of a character named Waiting, who represents the experience of waiting in various forms. Waiting is depicted as a person who is constantly waiting for something to happen, but never quite knows what it is that they are waiting for. Throughout the book, Waiting encounters a variety of other characters, each of whom represents a different aspect of the experience of waiting. These characters include Hope, who represents the optimism that often accompanies waiting; Despair, who represents the sense of hopelessness that can arise from waiting for too long; and Patience, who represents the virtue of waiting with grace and fortitude. As Waiting continues on their journey, they encounter a series of obstacles and challenges that test their resolve and their faith in the process of waiting. Ultimately, the book is a meditation on the nature of waiting and the various emotions and experiences that can arise from it. Written in a poetic and allegorical style, Waiting: An Allegorical Story is a thought-provoking and deeply philosophical work that continues to resonate with readers today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
