"Rulers of Kings" by Gertrude Franklin Horn Atherton is a novel written in the early 20th century. The book delves into the life of Fessenden Abbott, a young man struggling with the challenges of wealth, expectations, and identity. Set against a backdrop that blends personal ambition with broader historical dynamics, it explores themes of power, personal growth, and the intricacies of destiny. The opening of the story introduces Fessenden Abbott as he learns of his immense fortune, an inheritance of four hundred million dollars that plunges him into a deep discouragement rather than joy. As the narrative unfolds, we gain insights into his upbringing in a rugged wilderness and the values instilled in him by his father, Mr. Abbott. The father-son dynamic sets the stage for Fessenden’s internal conflicts and aspirations, particularly as he grapples with his identity amidst the burdens of his legacy. The chapter moves through his youthful ambitions, the influence of nature, and early relationships, hinting at a complex journey of self-discovery that is tied to larger societal themes.
