Here is a remarkable vintage tour-de-force of the Fifties, in which
Stuart Benton explores the range of human experience from the
sublime to the exotically degrading. Marriage, illicit love, the
uneasy relationship between children and parents, business success
and failure, a trial for murder, a descent into the underworld of
society, and later ascent to the delights of a swiftly-moving,
jaded society set all these can be found in the fabric of All
Things Human. John Stuart Kent is a millionaire banker and
aesthete, living out the Indian Summer of his life as the shape of
his future is altered by five extraordinary women: Helen, his young
wife, a resentful Galatea whose pathological jealousy cools their
relationship. Sylvia, a fascinating and magnanimous Wagnerian
singer, with flaming red hair and a fresh attitude toward love.
Aimee, a courtesan, par excellence. Edda, Kent s secretary, sweet,
young and unashamed who fumbles into scandalous catastrophe. Ivy, a
sophisticate of enormous wealth and esoteric accomplishments. John
Stuart Kent endures a Faust-like descent to a modern, mechanized
Hell, experiencing all the humiliations and betrayals of modern
society and its strange criminal procedures on his way. In the
fight for his good name and his liberty, Kent must use all of his
charm and wit, and enlist the help of a few friends, or he could be
stuck in the abyss of the criminal system forever."
