| Summary | "The Eyes of the World" by Harold Bell Wright is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around themes of inheritance, personal struggle, and societal expectations, as it begins with the poignant scene of a dying woman whose son is returning home to confront both his family's past and his own destiny. At the start of the novel, we meet a gravely ill woman, identified as Mary, who is anxiously awaiting the arrival of her son, Aaron King. As she lies in a stark, almost bare room, her thoughts are consumed by the legacy she wishes to pass on to him. When Aaron finally arrives, they share a heartfelt conversation where she reveals the sacrifices she made for his education and upbringing. Meanwhile, the narrative hints at Aaron's journey toward self-discovery, suggesting that he will be tested as he navigates his future in California, a place marked by both opportunity and societal complications. The opening chapters set the tone for a story that promises to explore deep emotional connections and the impact of familial ties while weaving in broader social commentary.
