The Doubts of Dives is a novel written by Walter Besant in 1889. The story revolves around the character of Dives, who is a wealthy man living in London. Despite his wealth and success, Dives is plagued by doubts about the meaning of life and the existence of God. He begins to question the materialistic values of his society and seeks answers to his existential questions.As he embarks on a journey of self-discovery, Dives meets a variety of characters who challenge his beliefs and offer him different perspectives on life. He encounters a group of socialists who advocate for social justice and equality, a spiritualist who claims to communicate with the dead, and a scientist who believes in the power of reason and logic.Throughout the novel, Dives grapples with his doubts and struggles to find a sense of purpose and meaning in his life. He ultimately discovers that true happiness and fulfillment come from connecting with others and working towards a greater good.Besant's novel is a thought-provoking exploration of the human condition and the search for meaning in a rapidly changing world. It offers a critique of the materialistic values of Victorian society and encourages readers to question their own beliefs and values.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
