The Second Generation
- David Graham Phillips
David Graham Phillips worked as
an investigative journalist for the New Your Sun and the
New Your World in the late 19th century. He then turned
to authoring, and his first work, "The Great God
Success" sold so well that he left journalism altogether to
concentrate on writing fiction. Although written as fictional
accounts, most of his works explore a variety of social
problems. In the Second Generation, he takes a critical
look at the issue of inherited wealth.
Extract from the book: "Will I
die?" -- Schulze slowly surveyed all Hiram's outward signs of
majesty that had been denied his own majestic intellect, noted
the tremendous figure, the shoulders, the forehead, the massive
brow and nose and chin -- an ensemble of un-abused power, the
handiwork of Nature at her best, a creation worth while, worth
preserving intact and immortal. "Yes," he answered, with
satiric bitterness; "you will have to die, and rot, just like
the rest of us." Schulze reflected, rubbing his red-button nose
with his stubby fingers. When he spoke, his voice had a sad
gentleness. "You can bear hearing it. You have the right to
know." He leaned back, paused, said in a low tone: "Put your
house in order, Mr. Ranger." Hiram's steadfast gray eyes met
bravely the eyes of the man who had just read him his death
warrant. A long pause; then Hiram said "Thank you," in his
quiet, calm way.
