The Nine-Tenths is a novel written by James Oppenheim. The story revolves around the life of a young man named John Storm who is a successful businessman and a millionaire. Despite his wealth, John is not happy with his life and feels a void that he cannot fill. He decides to embark on a journey to find the missing piece of his life.John's journey takes him to different parts of the world where he meets various people who help him in his quest. He meets a wise old man who teaches him the importance of living a simple life, a beautiful woman who shows him the power of love, and a group of monks who teach him the value of spirituality.As John progresses on his journey, he realizes that the missing piece of his life is not material wealth but inner peace and happiness. He learns that true happiness comes from within and not from external factors. The novel is a beautiful portrayal of the human quest for happiness and the importance of finding it within oneself.The Nine-Tenths is a thought-provoking and inspiring novel that will make readers reflect on their own lives and the true meaning of happiness. It is a must-read for anyone who is looking for a deeper understanding of life and the human experience.But as he stood in his private office, looking out into the gray loft, and feeling how weird and swift are life's changes, the men turned on the electrics, and the floors and walls began their old trembling and the presses clanked and thundered. He could have wept. To Joe this moment of starting up had always been precious: it had seemed to bring him something he had missed; something that fitted like an old shoe and was friendly and familiar. All at once he felt as if he could not leave this business, could not leave these men.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
