The Private Life of Henry Maitland is a novel written by the British author Morley Roberts. The book tells the story of Henry Maitland, a successful businessman who seems to have everything he could want in life - wealth, status, and a loving family. However, as the title suggests, the novel delves into the private life of Maitland, revealing the darker aspects of his personality and the secrets he keeps hidden from the world.As the story unfolds, the reader learns that Maitland is not the perfect man he appears to be. He is plagued by a sense of restlessness and dissatisfaction, and is constantly searching for something more in life. He becomes involved in a scandalous affair with a younger woman, which threatens to destroy his marriage and reputation. Meanwhile, his business empire is also facing challenges, and Maitland must navigate a series of crises to keep it afloat.Throughout the novel, Roberts explores themes of morality, ambition, and the human desire for fulfillment. He paints a vivid portrait of a man struggling to reconcile his public image with his private desires, and the consequences that follow when those desires are exposed. The Private Life of Henry Maitland is a gripping and thought-provoking novel that offers a fascinating glimpse into the complexities of human nature.As one goes on talking of him and considering his nature there are times when it seems amazing that he did not commit suicide and have done with it. Certainly there were days and seasons when I thought this might be his possible end. But some men break and others bend, and in him there was undoubtedly some curious strength though it were but the Will to Live of Schopenhauer, the one philosopher he sometimes read. I used myself to think that it was perhaps his native sensuousness which kept him alive in spite of all his misery.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
