(Hannah Farnham) Rich enough : $b a tale of the times Transcribed from the 1837 Whipple and Damrell edition by David Price "Rich Enough: A Tale of the Times" by Hannah Farnham Sawyer Lee is a fictional narrative written in the early 19th century. This novel explores the themes of wealth, family life, and the contrasting values of urban and rural existence during a time when rapid economic change was occurring in America. The story presents a critical examination of the pursuit of material wealth and its implications on personal happiness and relationships. The narrative revolves around two brothers, Howard and Mr. Draper, who embody different approaches to life and financial aspirations. Howard, a farmer, prioritizes security and contentment over wealth, seeking to provide for his family without succumbing to the temptations of speculation and risk. In contrast, Mr. Draper, a successful merchant, is driven by ambition and the desire for riches, which leads to increasing anxiety and disruption in his family life. The story unfolds as both families face the consequences of their distinct choices, particularly as Mr. Draper's relentless pursuit of wealth culminates in tragic outcomes, prompting reflections on the true meaning of being "rich enough" for a fulfilling life. Ultimately, the novel serves as a poignant critique of the obsession with wealth and its impact on human relationships and well-being. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
