Overview

A Poor Wise Man is a compelling novel by celebrated American author Mary Roberts Rinehart, known for her masterful storytelling and ability to weave social commentary into romantic and dramatic narratives. Set during the turbulence of the post-World War I period, the story centers around Lily Cardew, a young woman from a wealthy family, and her growing awareness of the vast societal inequalities surrounding her. As her life intersects with that of Willy Cameron—a principled man of modest means but great intellect—the novel explores themes of class conflict, political unrest, love, sacrifice, and moral courage.

Through richly drawn characters and gripping prose, Rinehart offers a thought-provoking reflection on America's social tensions in the early 20th century. This edition is a faithful reproduction of her original work, presented in clear English, ideal for classic literature enthusiasts and students of American fiction.
