Summary "The Big Mogul" by Joseph C. Lincoln is a novel written in the late 19th century. It tells the story of Foster Townsend, a wealthy and somewhat stubborn man, struggling with loneliness in the wake of his wife’s death, as he contemplates inviting his estranged niece, Esther, to live with him in his grand mansion. The narrative captures themes of family dynamics, pride, and the complexities of human relationships within a small community. At the start of the novel, we meet Foster Townsend in his library, a place filled with memories of his late wife, who had been instrumental in creating their home. As he reflects on his recent loss and the emptiness in his life, he decides to reach out to Esther, who has been raised by her aunt Reliance after the death of her own parents. The chapter presents an intimate view of Townsend's character—his affectionate yet brusque demeanor, his longing for companionship, and his struggle to connect with his niece. As he deliberates on how to make Esther feel welcome, the reader is left wondering how this reunion will unfold and the impact it will have on all involved.
