Summary | "Maailmankaupunki: Romaani" by Upton Sinclair is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story opens with Allan Montague, the son of a general, arriving at a grand hotel in a bustling city, filled with a mix of excitement and trepidation as he prepares to meet influential figures who shape his family's legacy. The book likely explores themes of ambition, identity, and the contrast between personal aspirations and social expectations through Montague's interactions with various characters from his father's past. The opening of the book introduces the protagonist, Allan Montague, as he navigates the social dynamics at a gathering of former soldiers, each carrying their own stories and scars from the Civil War. Allan is portrayed as a reflective character, grappling with the weight of his heritage while also confronting the present realities of an urban environment filled with contrasting social classes. As he mingles with war veterans and prominent figures, the narrative hints at the broader societal changes taking place in America, including the rise of socialism, setting the stage for the exploration of personal and societal conflict throughout the novel.
