Thou Fool! (1908)

John Joy Bell

Thou Fool! is a novel written by John Joy Bell and published in 1908. The story follows the life of a young man named George Hanbury, who is born into a wealthy family but is dissatisfied with his life and the expectations placed upon him. He becomes involved in socialism and begins to question the values and beliefs of his upbringing. As George's political beliefs become more radical, he becomes estranged from his family and friends. He falls in love with a working-class woman named Edith, who shares his socialist ideals. However, their relationship is complicated by their class differences and the disapproval of their families. The novel explores themes of social class, politics, and love. It also provides a critique of the upper-class society of the time and the hypocrisy of its values. Bell's writing is characterized by its realism and its portrayal of the struggles faced by those who challenge the status quo. Overall, Thou Fool! is a thought-provoking and engaging novel that offers insight into the social and political climate of the early 20th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
