About This Novel
Vandover, a young man from San Francisco, loved art and was very talented in painting. His father was worried that sending his son to Paris for further study would affect his studies, so he postponed his plan to go to Paris and instead sent his son to Harvard. But by chance again and again, Vandover, who had the halo of Harvard and a bright future after graduation, became a janitor at the bottom of society, crawling in the dirt in embarrassment. The young Vandover went through a lot of struggles in his heart, fighting between human nature and animal nature. Sometimes the animal nature defeated the human nature, and sometimes the human nature defeated the animal nature. However, Vandover's own weak and submissive character eventually made him completely degraded in the blows one after another. Vandover and the Beast is a naturalistic novel written by Norris in his early years at Harvard University. It describes how the beast in human nature leads to personal depravity. It was completed in 1895, but was not published immediately. This uncopied manuscript was placed in a crate and survived the San Francisco earthquake and city fire. It was finally published in 1914, twelve years after the author's death. Original link: http:\u002F\u002Fwww. Gutenberg. Org\u002Febooks\u002F14712
