About this audiobook
A man of noble birth but depleted fortune struggles to maintain his dignity in a society that measures worth strictly by wealth. Forced to swallow his pride, he navigates a humiliating maze of wealthy relatives, dismissive peers, and dwindling prospects. His steadfast commitment to honor is repeatedly tested by the alluring temptation of lucrative but morally compromising offers. Ultimately, he must prove that true gentility resides in the strength of one's character, not the depth of one's pockets. Follow a poignant and elegantly written character study about the quiet heroism of enduring poverty with grace.
