Wells's own life experience in the drapery trade, this comic novel presents our anti-hero, Alfred Polly, miserable, timid, and without direction, but with a gift for creating incomprehensible conversational \"epithets\" to express himself. No one quite understands what he has just said to them … Was it a compliment? An insult? Was it profound or absurd?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe novel opens by telling us, \"He hated Foxbourne, he hated Foxbourne High Street, he hated his shop and his wife and his neighbours-every blessed neighbour-and with indescribable bitterness he hated himself.\" The story unfolds from Mr. Polly's early education, his courtship and marriage, to his eventual discovery of purpose in life. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Voice to Remember","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49354467508528,"sku":"BDhhzw","price":22.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio CD","offer_id":49354467574064,"sku":"ZEhhzw","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio MP3-CD","offer_id":49354467639600,"sku":"ZMhhzw","price":35.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/hhzw-Square-cover.jpg?v=1775997970","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-hhzw","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
