[Gutenberg 3369] • A Hazard of New Fortunes — Volume 4

Centering on a conflict between a self-made millionaire and an idealistic reformer in turn-of-the-twentieth-century New York, **A Hazard of New Fortunes** insightfully renders the complexities of the American experience at a time of great social and economic upheaval and transformation. In its depiction of wealth, poverty, and New York City life, it remains a strikingly contemporary work.
