Back To Arcady

By Frank Waller Allen

Book Overview

Back to Arcady is a novel written by Frank Waller Allen. The story revolves around a young man named Jack who is disillusioned with the fast-paced city life and longs for a simpler, more idyllic existence. He decides to leave his job and travels to the countryside, where he stumbles upon a village called Arcady. The village is a utopia where people live in harmony with nature and each other. Jack is enchanted by the simple way of life in Arcady and decides to stay there. He falls in love with a local girl named Daphne and becomes a part of the community. However, Jack's city-bred mentality and the outside world soon catch up with him and threaten to disrupt the peaceful existence of Arcady. The novel explores themes of idealism, love, and the conflict between modernity and tradition. It is a nostalgic and romantic portrayal of a simpler time and a way of life that has long since disappeared.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
