London, late nineteenth century. Young talents seek success in the literary field, submitting their novels and articles to publishers. Journalist Jasper Milvain and writer Edwin Reardon are friends despite their opposing views: the ambitious Jasper dreams of achieving wealth at any cost, while the timid Edwin dreams of writing a truly worthy and powerful book. A proud man and a dreamer, an ambitious man and a creator—who will succeed in achieving their goal and finding fame in unforgiving London? George Gissing (1857-1903) was a British novelist, the author of brilliant naturalistic novels about the social problems of his time. His heroes—the urban poor, journalists, and writers—often face the hardships and adversities of life, forcing them to struggle for recognition and status in society, for life and love.
