Confessions Of A Young Man - George Moore

""The Confessions of a Young Man"" is a semi-autobiographical novel written by Irish author George Moore. It was first published in 1888 and is considered to be one of the earliest examples of the modernist literary movement. The book tells the story of a young man named George Moore who is struggling to find his place in the world. He is torn between his desire to become a successful artist and his need for financial stability. Throughout the book, Moore explores themes of love, art, and the search for identity. He also provides a vivid portrayal of life in late 19th-century Ireland, including the social and political issues of the time. ""The Confessions of a Young Man"" is a deeply personal and introspective work that offers a unique insight into the mind of a young artist.See the young man of refined mind in a ball room! He is leaning against the woodwork in a distant doorway, he scarcely knows what to do with himself; and he is now striving to interest himself in the conversation of a group of men twice his age. I will not say he is shunned; but neither the matrons nor the young girls make any advances towards him. The young girls looking so sweet--in the oneness of their fresh hair, flowers, dresses, and glances--are being introduced, are getting up to dance, and the hostess is looking round for partners.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
