Love And Law: Two Stories (1879)

By Carl Max

Book Overview

Love and Law: Two Stories is a collection of two short stories written by Carl Max and first published in 1879. The first story, Love, tells the tale of a young couple who fall deeply in love but are torn apart by the social conventions of their time. Despite their strong feelings for each other, they are unable to overcome the barriers of class and status that separate them, and their love ultimately ends in tragedy.The second story, Law, explores the theme of justice and revenge. A wealthy man is murdered and his son seeks revenge on the killer, who happens to be a poor farmer. The son is determined to see the farmer punished, but as the story unfolds, he begins to question the morality of his actions and the true meaning of justice.Both stories offer a commentary on the social and moral issues of their time, and the complex relationships between love, law, and justice. Max's writing is both insightful and thought-provoking, and his characters are richly drawn and deeply human. Love and Law: Two Stories is a timeless work of literature that continues to resonate with readers today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
