The Private Life of Henry Maitland is a novel written by Morley Roberts. The story revolves around the life of the protagonist, Henry Maitland, who is a wealthy and successful businessman. Despite his success, Henry is unhappy with his life and feels a sense of emptiness. He decides to take a break from his routine and travels to the countryside to find solace. During his stay in the countryside, Henry meets a young woman named Lucy. They quickly develop a close bond, and Henry finds himself falling in love with her. However, their relationship is complicated by the fact that Lucy is engaged to another man. As the story progresses, Henry is forced to confront his own personal demons and deal with the consequences of his actions. The novel explores themes of love, betrayal, and the search for meaning in life. Overall, The Private Life of Henry Maitland is a thought-provoking and engaging novel that delves into the complexities of human relationships and the struggles we face in our personal lives.As one goes on talking of him and considering his nature there are times when it seems amazing that he did not commit suicide and have done with it. Certainly there were days and seasons when I thought this might be his possible end. But some men break and others bend, and in him there was undoubtedly some curious strength though it were but the Will to Live of Schopenhauer, the one philosopher he sometimes read. I used myself to think that it was perhaps his native sensuousness which kept him alive in spite of all his misery.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
