Book Overview

""Pay Your Fare: An Allegory"" is a book written by George Edward Lewis and published in 1914. The book is an allegory, which means it uses symbolic characters and events to convey a deeper meaning or message. The story follows a man named John, who is traveling on a train. He is approached by a conductor who asks him to pay his fare. John refuses, claiming that he should not have to pay because he is a good person and has never caused any trouble. As the train continues on its journey, John encounters various other passengers who all have different opinions on the matter of paying one's fare. Some believe that it is necessary to pay in order to support the transportation system, while others argue that it is a matter of principle and personal responsibility. Throughout the book, John's refusal to pay his fare becomes a symbol for the larger issue of individual responsibility and the importance of supporting public goods and services. The allegory is meant to encourage readers to consider their own role in society and the impact of their actions on the greater community. Overall, ""Pay Your Fare: An Allegory"" is a thought-provoking and timeless work 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.
