✦ Synopsis


Esta novela, publicada en 1856, fue una de las novelas más populares y queridas de la época victoriana. Se cuenta en primera persona por Phineas Fletcher, un hijo inválido de un curtidor cuáquero que se nos presenta al principio como un joven solitario. John Halifax, el primer amigo que ha tenido, es un pobre huérfano que es adoptado por su padre para ayudar en el trabajo que su hijo enfermo no siempre se puede hacer. Phineas nos dice de una manera inolvidable cómo John consiguió levantarse de su humilde comienzo y convertirse en un hombre rico y exitoso. Pero con el dinero llegan problemas horribles
