About this audiobook
A young man rises to wealth and social prominence by marketing a worthless patent medicine tonic invented by his uncle. Through his ascent and inevitable disillusionment, the narrative critiques the hollow commercialism and moral decay of Edwardian society. It is a sweeping panoramic novel about the clash between scientific truth and the charlatanism of modern trade.
