Overview

Step into a whimsical exploration of social expectations and the unexpected quirks of life with William Dean Howells' The Elevator. Originally published in 1911 and now meticulously presented by Leopold Classic Library, this farcical tale takes readers to the heart of Boston society, within the confinements of an apartment hotel elevator stuck between floors. Howells, with his sharp wit and keen observation, crafts a story that is as much about the physical elevator as it is about the societal 'elevations' and descents experienced by his characters. Through the comedic yet poignant plight of the Roberts family and their guests, The Elevator examines the absurdities of social conventions and the human condition. Whether it's the anticipation of a dinner party gone awry or the unexpected alliances formed in the face of adversity, Howells' narrative promises laughter, reflection, and an enduring charm that transcends its era. Discover this classic anew, brought back to life through the diligent quality control and passion for preservation characteristic of Leopold Classic Library's commitment to timeless literature.
