Adoniram is a book written by Alexander Findlay that tells the story of a young man named Adoniram, who is born into a poor family in Scotland in the 19th century. Despite his humble beginnings, Adoniram is determined to make something of himself and sets out to become a successful businessman.Through hard work and determination, Adoniram rises through the ranks of the business world and becomes a wealthy and powerful figure. However, his success comes at a cost, as he becomes increasingly ruthless and manipulative in his dealings with others.As Adoniram's power and influence grow, he becomes embroiled in a series of scandals and controversies, including a scandalous affair with a married woman and a bitter feud with a rival businessman.Throughout the book, Findlay explores themes of ambition, power, and the corrupting influence of wealth. Adoniram is a gripping tale of one man's rise to power and the moral dilemmas and ethical compromises that come with it.1927. In undertaking this work, the author has one object in view: to present to the reader a true picture, painted in bright colors, of the people, their lives and characters, in that faraway epoch of this touching legend. Then, as now, people suffered, loved and hated. Now, as in that faraway time, the strongest factor of life is love. If you, the reader, while perusing the pages of this romance, letting your mind dwell but lightly on the dark episodes of that long-ago era, find contentment of heart and a truer concept of life of humanity, the author will be satisfied that his object was achieved.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
