"The Beauty and the Bolshevist" by Alice Duer Miller is a novel likely written during the early 20th century, specifically around the time of the 1920s. The story centers on Ben Moreton, an idealistic editor of a radical newspaper, and his tumultuous relationship with his brother David, who is on the verge of marrying a capitalistic heiress, Eugenia Cord. Ben’s journey consists of navigating family loyalty while grappling with political convictions and societal expectations. At the start of the book, the conflict is introduced through Ben's internal struggle regarding David's engagement to Eugenia Cord. As Ben prepares to confront his brother, who seems oblivious to the consequences of such a union, he receives news of the engagement just as tensions rise between his own socialist beliefs and the prevailing capitalist society represented by the Cords. The narrative explores the dynamics within the Moreton family, the clash between social classes, and the emergence of romantic interests, particularly between Ben and Crystal Cord, Eugenia's sister. This opening section establishes a rich foundation for themes of love, societal expectations, and the pursuit of personal integrity amidst the looming shadow of class conflict.
