The Golden Fetich is a novel written by Eden Phillpotts and published in 1903. The story is set in the late 19th century and revolves around the lives of a group of characters in a remote village on the coast of Devon, England. The central character is a young woman named Mary Cholmondeley, who is engaged to a wealthy but unscrupulous man named George St. George. Mary is torn between her love for George and her growing awareness of his character flaws. Meanwhile, a mysterious stranger arrives in the village, bringing with him a golden fetich (an African charm) that is said to bring great wealth to its possessor. The fetich becomes the object of obsession for several characters in the novel, including George and a local businessman named Mr. Popham. As the story unfolds, the fetich becomes a symbol of greed and corruption, and the characters' pursuit of it leads to tragic consequences.The Golden Fetich is a complex and thought-provoking novel that explores themes of love, greed, and morality. Phillpotts' writing is vivid and evocative, bringing the Devon landscape and its inhabitants to life. The novel is also notable for its portrayal of African culture and its critique of colonialism and imperialism.
