Ever since the day he was deployed to fight in WWI, Daren Lane
dreamed of the day that he returned home. Feeling that it had been
several years since he left, Daren finally returns home to America,
but soon realizes that it is not the home he remembers. Others have
been able to move on from the war, causing Daren to question if his
sacrifice of service was even worth it. Though he is attached to
the ideals and behavior popular during the Victorian era, the rest
of American society have moved on to the frivolous and fun attitude
of the roaring twenties. When Daren notices that his younger sister
is participating in this culture, drinking underage, gambling, and
taking drugs, Daren is repulsed. Feeling that it is immoral and
irreverent, he vows to put a stop to it. While organizing a way to
combat his community's declining morals, the young soldier receives
a troubling diagnosis due to an injury that he sustained during the
war. While coming to terms with this discovery, Daren decides to
dedicate his time to mentoring the youth, attempting to reform
their behavior. With themes of cultural and generational divides,
The Day of the Beast by Zane Grey is a somber and intriguing
narrative that depicts a soldier's complicated integration back
into civilian life. Written with descriptive and moving prose, The
Day of the Beast is emotional and provides a unique and rare
perspective on the cultural change of the roaring twenties. Adding
to the fascinating discussions of this historic period, this Zane
Grey masterpiece is captivating and relevant to a modern audience.
This edition of The Day of the Beast by Zane Grey now features a
new, eye-catching cover design and is printed in a font that is
both modern and readable. With these accommodations, this edition
of The Day of the Beast crafts an accessible and pleasant reading
experience for modern audiences while restoring the original drama
and depth of Zane Grey's work.
