In all of literature there can be few more appalling studies of a soul devoured by pride and avarice, corroded by hatred. Louis, a wretchedly unhappy multi-millionaire, all but personifies evil. Toward the end of his life, seeking to uncover the cause of his unhappiness, he commits to paper his whole bitter story: his indulgent but affection-starved childhood; his first love; the trivial misunderstanding that festered until it poisoned their entire married life and the lives of their children; the old miser's struggle to disinherit his family; and finally, the powerful climax, with divine grace vying to the very end to pierce the evil encrusting Louis' soul. 538 Mode of access: World Wide Web. 650 0 Disinheritance|zFrance|vFiction. 650 0 Husband and wife|zFrance|vFiction. 650 0 Revenge|vFiction. 700 1 Howard, Geoffrey.|4nrt 730 0 hoopla (Digital media service) 914 MWT10025975
