Death of Society- A Novel of Tomorrow
In the wake of the Great War, Major Rane Smith finds himself adrift in a sea of ennui, wandering through the breathtaking fjords of Norway in search of spiritual renewal. His journey takes a fateful turn when he discovers the enigmatic, almost elvish home of Karl Ingman, a maverick Ibsen scholar. There, Major Smith encounters Ingmans two captivating daughters and his otherworldly wife, Rosa, leading to deep and transformative conversations that stretch over lazy days. A rare literary treasure, The Death of Society is a striking testament to the post-War era, showcasing Romer Wilsons profound intellectual, artistic, and philosophical passions intertwined with a love story of equal depth. After a tragic early death that led to her obscurity, Wilsons work deserves a revival, as she was once honored with the prestigious Hawthornden Prize for this remarkable novel.
