Beyond the City (World Classics, Unabridged)

by Arthur Conan Doyle

Overview

The narrative unfolds in the placid English countryside. Focusing on the trap of lust and deceit, Doyle highlights the deep influence of trivial matters on our destinies. Revolving around three small groups of Victorian people who were crossing the boundaries of their middle-class lives, he mercilessly comments on the class-division in societies. Astonishing!
