Wells, first published in 1910. The novel follows the life of Alfred Polly, a middle-aged man living in Edwardian England who is dissatisfied with his life and job as a shopkeeper. After a series of misfortunes, including a failed attempt at suicide, Polly decides to leave his old life behind and start anew.
