Christina Alberta's father by H. G. Wells
"Christina Alberta's Father" by H. G. Wells is a novel published in 1925. Set in post-World War I London, it follows Albert Edward Preemby, a dreamy laundry assistant who becomes convinced he is the reincarnation of an ancient Sumerian king, and his determined daughter Christina Alberta. What begins as social comedy transforms into a critique of mental health institutions and society itself. Wells explores themes of identity, independence, and individual freedom versus
social duty, departing from conventional happy endings to deliver something more provocative and unresolved. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
