Nether World

Nether World

by George Gissing

This novel revolves around the problematic issue of money. Michael returns from Australia a rich man, but he hides this fact from everybody. Instead of indulging in luxuries, he only spends money on the things he needs. He contemplates leaving his money to his granddaughter Jane, but only if she agrees to donate most of it to charity. Jane struggles with this decision, torn between her own desires and the needs of others. "Nether World" delves into the complexities of wealth and poverty, morality and ethics, and the challenges of making responsible decisions in a world driven by money.
