Kluge, Rod Crawford, Dave Morgan and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "Master of Men" by E. Phillips Oppenheim is a novel likely written in the early 20th century. The story centers around Enoch Strone, a mechanic and inventor, who is striving to elevate his life and position while grappling with his feelings for Lady Malingcourt, a woman of higher social standing. The narrative explores themes of ambition, class difference, and the complexities of human relationships against a backdrop of personal and professional struggles. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Strone as he reflects on his life while enjoying a respite in the countryside. He grapples with the stark contrast between his working-class existence and the genteel world embodied by Lady Malingcourt. Their encounter reveals a growing admiration and complexity as he feels attracted to her, yet is aware of their differing social statuses. As Strone becomes increasingly ambitious and successful in his endeavors, the narrative hints at the tension between his aspirations and the weight of his earlier life choices and relationships, particularly with Milly, his wife, ultimately setting the stage for a conflict between love, duty, and self-actualization.
