The Ruling Passion (Perfect Library) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

First published in 1901 as The Ruling Passion: Tales of Nature and Human Nature, this classic collection by Henry Van Dyke brings together short stories in which ordinary people are guided—sometimes quietly, sometimes dramatically—by the one desire that rules their hearts.

Set against “Nature’s stage,” these tales blend warm storytelling with keen observation, moral tension, and a gentle, reflective tone. From devotion to art and duty to the stubborn pull of love, ambition, or conscience, Van Dyke shows how small choices and chance events can reveal character in full. The volume includes stories such as “A Lover of Music”and “The Reward of Virtue,” among others.
