Brown Jim's Problem

By Bruce Bueno de Mesquita and David Lalman

Book Overview

Brown Jim's Problem is a novel written by Marie Corelli that tells the story of Jim Brown, a young man who is struggling to find his place in the world. Jim is a talented artist, but he is unable to make a living from his art. He is also in love with a woman who is engaged to another man. As Jim tries to figure out his future, he becomes involved with a group of socialists who are fighting for workers' rights. This puts him at odds with his conservative family and the wealthy people he has grown up with. Jim must decide whether to follow his heart and his conscience or to conform to the expectations of society. The novel explores themes of class, love, and social justice, and offers a critique of the Victorian era's rigid social hierarchy.THIS 30 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: The Love of Long Ago and Other Stories, by Marie Corelli.

Wheeling and Dealing

I thought the book to be very beneficial for a person just wandering what it is all about this book was not a ah lets go out and write a book and comsume some drugs along the way this was a study in the sociology of these people.

LIVIN' LIFE IN THE FAST LANE

For all the questions you've ever had about high level drug smuggling but were deathly afraid to ask anybody...this book is for you! Adler chronicles how smugglers and dealers first entered the drug world, and how they rose to the top, and I do mean top rung of the drug dealing/smuggling community. An excellent study that doesn't read like academia.
