The Parlor Begat Amos is a novel written by Arthur Sturges Hildebrand and published in 1922. The story is set in the early 20th century and revolves around the life of Amos, a young man who was born and raised in a parlor. Amos is the son of a wealthy couple who live a lavish lifestyle and have a great love for antiques and fine art. They spend most of their time in their parlor, which is filled with expensive furniture and paintings.As Amos grows up, he becomes increasingly disillusioned with his parents' lifestyle and their obsession with material possessions. He begins to rebel against their values and starts to explore the world outside their parlor. Along the way, he meets a variety of characters who challenge his beliefs and help him discover his true identity.The Parlor Begat Amos is a thought-provoking novel that explores themes of wealth, materialism, and individuality. It is a poignant commentary on the human condition and the search for meaning in a world that often values superficiality over substance. Hildebrand's writing is engaging and insightful, and his characters are well-drawn and relatable. Overall, this is a compelling read that will leave readers thinking long after they have finished the last page.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
