Description: Esther by Henry Brooks Adams Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description EstherA NovelBy Henry AdamsEsther is a novel by Henry Adams first published in 1884 under the pen name "Frances Snow Compton."The comic story deals with a young, freethinking socialite who falls desperately in love with an Episcopal minister. The result is a clash of intellects, a confrontation between faith and reason and a battle of the sexes.In a remote pew, hidden under a gallery of the transept, two persons looked on with especial interest. The number of strangers who crowded in after them forced them to sit closely together, and their low whispers of comment were unheard by their neighbors. Before the service began they talked in a secular tone."Whartons window is too high-toned," said the man."You all said it would be like Aladdins," murmured the woman."Yes, but he throws away his jewels," rejoined the man. "See the big prophet over the arch; he looks as though he wanted to come down--and I think he ought.""Did Michael Angelo ever take lessons of Mr. Wharton?" asked the woman seriously, looking up at the figures high above the pulpit."He was only a prophet," answered her companion, and, looking in another direction, next asked: "Who is the angel of Paradise, in the dove-colored wings, sliding up the main aisle?"
