Alfred Burton's entire life and demeanor changes when he eats fruit
from a plant that suddenly compels him to speak and see the truth.
Regardless of intent, his change of heart has a devastating effect
on his personal and professional relationships. Alfred is a sly and
charismatic auctioneer's clerk, who uses embellishments and
half-truths to maintain his job. One day he comes across a random
plant in an old house and eats some of its fruit. Once ingested, it
has a dramatic physical and mental effect. Alfred can suddenly see
the world through a clear, unfiltered lens. His interests
drastically change. He alters his appearance. His speech is more
direct and sincere. Yet, things that he once loved, now repulse
him--including his family. The Double Life of Mr. Alfred Burton has
an intriguing premise that tests the limits of morality. It
explores the concept of brutal honesty and how it can be just as
damaging as deceit. E. Phillips Oppenheim provides a unique plot
device that forces the character and reader to face this dilemma.
With an eye-catching new cover, and professionally typeset
manuscript, this edition of The Double Life of Mr. Alfred Burton is
both modern and readable.
