The World for Sale, Volume 1. This eBook was produced by David Widger "The World for Sale, Volume 1" by Gilbert Parker is a novel written in the early 20th century. The book is set in the evolving landscapes of Western Canada during a time of significant change and development, telling the intertwined stories of two towns, Lebanon and Manitou, and their distinct social fabrics. The central character, Fleda Druse, is introduced as a daring and adventurous young woman who defies conventions within her societal constraints, challenging expectations as she navigates her identity and relationships in this newly settled land. The opening of the novel vividly illustrates the setting as the towns prepare for harvest time, capturing the contrasting spirits of the two places. Fleda's courageous act of running the Carillon Rapids establishes her as a strong-willed character seeking autonomy. As she successfully navigates the treacherous waters, she garners the attention and admiration of onlookers, including Max Ingolby, a man driven by ambition and intent on changing the landscape around him. The narrative hints at deeper themes of societal conflict and the clash between tradition and modernity, especially in light of Fleda's complex background and the emergence of her potential relationships with influential men. This initial sequence sets the stage for her struggles as she comes to terms with her heritage and the ever-evolving world around her. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
