A Duel is a novel written by Richard Marsh and first published in 1904. The story is set in London and revolves around two men, Sir John Dene and his rival, James Beardmore. Sir John is a wealthy and successful businessman who has made his fortune in the oil industry, while James is a struggling journalist who is envious of Sir John's success.The two men become embroiled in a bitter feud, and eventually agree to settle their differences with a duel. The novel follows the events leading up to the duel, as well as the aftermath, which sees both men facing the consequences of their actions.A Duel is a gripping and suspenseful tale of greed, jealousy, and revenge. Marsh's vivid descriptions of London and its inhabitants bring the story to life, and his skillful characterization makes the two main protagonists both sympathetic and complex. The novel is a classic example of Edwardian-era literature, and remains a popular read for those interested in the period.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
