Originally published in 1895, a dying man instructs his son to
reject their family fortune because of its evil origins and his
grandfather's unsavory past. Yet, his son is enamored by the riches
and its potential for good. John Calvert was a successful engineer
and heir to a large fortune. While on his deathbed, he tells his
son, Dr. Lucian Calvert, the truth about their family's money and
how it was acquired. His dying wish is that Lucian never touches a
dime or use it for personal gain. John fails to leave a will, which
causes multiple "family members" to stake their claim on his
wealth. Despite his father's haunting words, Lucian becomes engaged
in a battle for his highly-coveted estate. Beyond the Dream of
Avarice is a cautionary tale about status, wealth and greed. Walter
Besant provides an insightful look at the corruptive nature of
money and power. Even with a clear warning, man can still fall
victim to the desires of the flesh. With an eye-catching new cover,
and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Beyond the
Dream of Avarice is both modern and readable.
