Title:
Reginald Cruden
A Tale of City Life
Credits: Produced by Nick Hodson of London, England
Summary: "Reginald Cruden" by Talbot Baines Reed is a novel written in the late 19th century. The book follows the life of Reginald, a young man navigating the challenges of finding work and belonging in a harsh urban environment following the sudden death of his father. It serves as a coming-of-age tale that reflects on social class, the nature of work, and the struggle of family ties. The opening of "Reginald Cruden" introduces us to a sweltering summer day at the Cruden estate, where the young protagonist, along with his brother Horace and friends, is lazily enjoying a tennis match. However, the tranquility is shattered when Horace rushes back with news of their father's grave illness, leading to a telegram that reveals a sudden turn of fate: their father has passed away. This tragic news sets the stage for the family’s subsequent descent into financial ruin, as Mr. Cruden’s once-thriving estate now rests on precarious investments. The Cruden brothers are forced to leave their comfortable life behind and begin anew in a dreary lodging, where they must confront the stark realities of their new, uncertain future.
