Produktinformationen "Arthur Mervyn Vol. II"
Arthur Mervyn or memoirs of the year 1793 Vol. II examines the social and psychological impact of a deadly epidemic on a divided city through the lens of a solitary figure who must balance personal judgment against the suffering of others. During a sweeping pestilence in Philadelphia, the narrative begins with a man discovering a stranger weakened by illness and choosing to assist despite the risk. This decision becomes a gateway into broader concerns about integrity, duty, and the limits of moral responsibility. As the stranger s identity and past unfold, reflections on misfortune and survival reveal how moral clarity often dissolves under pressure. The household becomes a space where acts of generosity coexist with uncertainty and unease. Through dialogue and observation, the story explores the inner workings of conscience, the fragility of good intentions, and the fine line between compassion and self-interest. The early moments set a somber yet searching tone that frames the human condition within the chaos of collective disaster.
