The Pace That Kills: A Chronicle is a novel written by Edgar Saltus and published in 1889. The book is a social commentary on the fast-paced lifestyle of the wealthy elite in New York City during the late 19th century. The story follows a young man named Paul, who becomes enamored with the high society lifestyle and the pursuit of pleasure and wealth. However, as he becomes more deeply involved in this world, he begins to realize the toll it takes on his physical and mental health, as well as the lives of those around him. The novel explores themes of addiction, excess, and the dangers of living a life solely focused on material gain. The Pace That Kills: A Chronicle is a thought-provoking and cautionary tale that sheds light on the darker side of the American Dream.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
