The Egoist is a novel written by George Meredith that was first published in 1879. It is a satirical work that explores the theme of selfishness and the consequences of putting one's own desires above everything else. The story follows the life of Sir Willoughby Patterne, a wealthy and handsome man who is admired by many but who also possesses an enormous ego. He is engaged to be married to a young woman named Clara Middleton, but his selfishness and arrogance threaten to destroy their relationship. As the story unfolds, we see how Sir Willoughby's behavior affects those around him, including his friends, family, and even his fianc�����e. The novel is filled with witty dialogue, memorable characters, and insightful observations about human nature. It is a timeless work that continues to resonate with readers today.These little scoundrel imps, who have attained to some respectability as the dogs and pets of the Comic Spirit, had been curiously attentive three years earlier, long before the public announcement of his engagement to the beautiful Miss Durham, on the day of Sir Willoughby's majority, when Mrs. Mountstuart Jenkinson said her word of him.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
