The Slaves of Society: A Comedy in Covers is a satirical novel written by an anonymous author who goes by the pseudonym ""The Man Who Heard Something"". First published in 1900, the book is a biting critique of the social norms and values of Victorian England.The story follows the lives of several characters from different social classes, including aristocrats, businessmen, and working-class individuals. The characters are all struggling to navigate the complex and often hypocritical social expectations of their time.The novel is structured as a series of interconnected short stories, each of which focuses on a different character or group of characters. The stories are presented as magazine covers, with each one featuring a different title and illustration.Through these stories, the author exposes the absurdities and contradictions of Victorian society. He highlights the ways in which people are constrained by their social status, their gender, and their class, and shows how these constraints often lead to unhappiness and frustration.Despite its serious themes, The Slaves of Society is also a highly entertaining and humorous book. The author uses wit and satire to skewer the foibles and follies of his characters, and to poke fun at the conventions of Victorian literature.Overall, The Slaves of Society is a witty and insightful commentary on the social mores of its time, and a timeless satire that remains relevant to this day.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
