''Change The Whisper Of The Sphinx'' is a novel written by William Leighton in 1878. The story revolves around the protagonist, a young man named Gerald who inherits a vast fortune from his uncle. However, he soon realizes that his newfound wealth has brought him more problems than he had anticipated. As he tries to navigate his way through the complexities of high society, he finds himself embroiled in a web of deceit, betrayal, and scandal.The title of the book is a reference to the Sphinx, a mythical creature that is known for its riddles and enigmatic nature. The Sphinx is often associated with mystery and the unknown, and in this book, it serves as a metaphor for the challenges that Gerald faces as he tries to adapt to his new life.Throughout the novel, Leighton explores themes of love, ambition, and the corrupting influence of wealth. He also provides a vivid depiction of Victorian society, with its rigid social hierarchies and strict moral codes.Overall, ''Change The Whisper Of The Sphinx'' is a compelling tale of one man’s journey to find his place in the world, and the obstacles he must overcome along the way. It is a timeless story 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.
