The Coming Day is a novel written by Oscar Loos Joseph and published in 1918. The book is set in the early 20th century and explores the themes of industrialization, capitalism, and socialism. The story follows the lives of two brothers, John and Tom, who come from a working-class family in a small town in the United States. John is a hard-working factory worker who believes in the American dream of success through hard work and determination. Tom, on the other hand, is a socialist who believes that the only way to achieve true equality and justice is through the overthrow of the capitalist system.As the story progresses, the brothers find themselves on opposite sides of the growing conflict between labor and capital. John becomes increasingly disillusioned with the factory system and begins to sympathize with the socialist cause. Tom, meanwhile, becomes more radicalized and joins a group of anarchists who are planning a violent revolution. The novel culminates in a dramatic confrontation between the workers and the factory owners, with both John and Tom playing pivotal roles in the outcome.Throughout the book, Joseph explores the complex issues surrounding industrialization and the struggle for workers' rights. He also delves into the ideological debates between capitalism and socialism, presenting both sides of the argument in a nuanced and thoughtful way. The Coming Day is a powerful and thought-provoking novel that remains relevant to this day, offering a compelling critique of the excesses of capitalism and the need for social justice and equality.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
