Going West is a novel written by British author Basil King and published in 1919. The story is set in the early 20th century and follows the life of a young man named John Grayson, who leaves his comfortable life in the East to seek his fortune in the West. John is a sensitive and idealistic character who is disillusioned with the materialism and superficiality of his privileged upbringing. He sets out on a journey to find meaning and purpose in his life, and ends up in the small town of Millfield, where he becomes involved in the lives of the local people. Through his experiences in Millfield, John learns about the struggles and hardships of the working class, and becomes committed to helping them improve their lives. He also falls in love with a young woman named Mary, who shares his ideals and becomes his partner in his mission to make a difference in the world. The novel explores themes of social justice, love, and personal growth, and is a reflection of the changing values and attitudes of the time. King's writing is characterized by its vivid descriptions and insightful observations of human nature, and his portrayal of John's journey is both inspiring and thought-provoking. Overall, Going West is a classic work of fiction that offers a compelling and timeless message about the importance of following one's own path and making a positive impact on the world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
