In these unabridged readings of William Dean Howells, the listener is invited into drawing rooms, countinghouses, city streets, and quiet chambers of conscience, where ordinary lives reveal their most extraordinary meanings. Here are stories of ambition, love, money, manners, and moral choice, told with wit, sympathy, and a clear eye for the truths people often hide from themselves. The William Dean Howells Library restores one of America’s great realist voices to the living ear.Public domain
