Summary "Jacob's Ladder" by E. Phillips Oppenheim is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows Jacob Pratt, a man who faces humiliation and financial ruin when he files for bankruptcy. Struggling with his disgrace, Jacob's life takes a dramatic turn two years later when he unexpectedly inherits a fortune, giving him the chance to reshape his identity and confront those who once looked down on him. At the start of the book, Jacob Pratt grapples with the aftermath of his bankruptcy, feeling unworthy and isolated from society. Despite a neat home and loyal landlady, he endures a painfully awkward commute to the city, where he faces the disdain of former acquaintances, including a creditor who publicly humiliates him. However, as the narrative unfolds, his fortunes change when he receives an unexpected inheritance, setting the stage for his journey of rediscovery and the ultimate quest to reclaim his dignity. The opening lays the groundwork for Jacob’s transformation and the complex social dynamics he navigates as he re-enters a world from which he had previously fallen.
