Carnac's Folly is a novel written by Gilbert Parker and first published in 1922. The story is set in the late 19th century and centers around the character of Carnac, a young man who inherits a large fortune from his father. However, Carnac is not content with his life of privilege and decides to leave his comfortable existence to pursue his dream of becoming a sculptor.As he begins his artistic journey, Carnac faces a number of challenges, including financial difficulties, family conflicts, and romantic entanglements. He also becomes involved in a political scandal that threatens to ruin his reputation and derail his career.Throughout the novel, Parker explores themes of ambition, love, loyalty, and the pursuit of artistic excellence. He also provides a vivid portrait of the social and political landscape of the era, including the tensions between the French and English-speaking communities in Canada.Overall, Carnac's Folly is a compelling tale of one man's struggle to find his place in the world and to follow his passion, despite the obstacles that stand in his way.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
