The New Galatea is a novel written by Samuel Gordon, first published in 1908. The story revolves around the character of a young artist named Richard Garfield who is deeply in love with his own creation, a statue of a woman named Galatea. However, his love for the statue is taken to a new level when he discovers that it has come to life. The living Galatea is a beautiful and intelligent woman who is fascinated by the world around her, but is also struggling to come to terms with her own identity and existence. As Richard tries to help her navigate this new world, they both face challenges and obstacles that threaten to tear them apart. The novel explores themes of love, identity, and the power of art, as well as the consequences of blurring the lines between reality and fantasy. Overall, The New Galatea is a thought-provoking and engaging novel that offers a unique take on the classic myth of Pygmalion and Galatea.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
