Project Gutenberg 2010-09-28 Public domain in the USA. 255 Hocking, Joseph 1860 1937 The Man Who Rose Again Produced by Darleen Dove, Roger Frank, Mary Meehan and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "The Man Who Rose Again" by Joseph Hocking is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Radford Leicester, a cynical, heavy-drinking young politician who, after a night of introspection and conversation with friends in a London club, accepts a wager to prove that a virtuous woman would overlook his moral failings if he offers her a chance at social prominence. His challenge raises ethical questions about the intentions behind relationships and the value of personal integrity versus ambition. The opening of the story introduces a dialogue among four young men in a smoking-room discussing politics and personal matters late into the night. Leicester, characterized by his striking presence, is engaged in a bitter challenge about his worthiness to court the most sought-after heiress in London, Olive Castlemaine, despite his acknowledged flaws. Amidst conversations laden with sarcasm and a sense of foreboding, Leicester expresses a desperate determination to prove his theory—that women are primarily motivated by social standing—by courting Olive, ostensibly for a wager. This sets the stage for a psychological exploration of his character and the complexities of human relationships.
