The Taskmasters is a novel written by George Kibbe Turner and published in 1902. The story is set in the late 19th century in New York City and follows the lives of two brothers, Julian and Stephen Deering, who are both successful businessmen. Julian is the president of a large corporation, while Stephen is a lawyer.The novel explores the themes of power, wealth, and corruption, as the brothers navigate their way through the cutthroat world of business and politics. Julian is portrayed as a ruthless taskmaster who will stop at nothing to achieve his goals, while Stephen is more idealistic and concerned with justice and fairness.As the story unfolds, the brothers become embroiled in a scandal involving a corrupt politician and a crooked businessman. Julian is determined to use his power and influence to cover up the scandal and protect his business interests, while Stephen is determined to expose the truth and bring the guilty parties to justice.The Taskmasters is a gripping tale of ambition, greed, and betrayal, and offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of business and politics in turn-of-the-century America.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
