The Conflict is a novel written by David Graham Phillips, published in 1911. The story revolves around a young and ambitious lawyer named John Hendricks who is determined to make a name for himself in the legal profession. However, his life takes a dramatic turn when he falls in love with a beautiful and wealthy woman named Helen Winthrope.Helen is already engaged to a wealthy businessman, but she is drawn to John’s intelligence and passion. As their relationship develops, John becomes increasingly conflicted between his love for Helen and his desire for success in his career. Meanwhile, Helen’s fianc����� becomes jealous and starts to plot against John, leading to a series of dramatic events that ultimately culminate in tragedy.The Conflict is a gripping tale of love, ambition, and betrayal, set against the backdrop of early 20th century America. It explores themes of class, wealth, and power, and offers a vivid portrait of a society in transition. The novel is widely regarded as one of Phillips’ most successful works and is still read and studied today for its insightful commentary on the human condition.`Led by your sort of young men? I mean young men of your class. Led by young lawyers and merchants and young fellows living on inherited incomes? Don’t you see that’s impossible,' cried Selma. ``They are all living off the labor of others. Their whole idea of life is exploiting the masses -- is reaping where they have not sown or reaping not only what they’ve sown but also what others have sown -- for they couldn’t buy luxury and all the so-called refinements of life for themselves and their idle families merely with what they themselves could earn.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
