The Island of Pharisees. Freelands

Dick Shelton lives like everyone else. He thinks like most representatives of the English high society, has the 'right' acquaintances, reads the 'right' newspapers, and is planning to marry the 'right' girl without love, although deep down he understands that his marriage will not be happy. However, a chance meeting on a train with the bohemian Frenchman Louis Ferrand changes everything. For the first time, Shelton begins to observe, think, and analyze independently. And with each passing day, he likes what he sees around him less and less... This collection also includes the novel 'Freelands', telling the story of a great love and a terrible scandal that shook all of Victorian England.
