People’s Man 

Maraton, a successful revolutionary Labour leader in Chicago, returns to his native England. Julia Trendheim and her brother, fervent Jewish socialists who had eagerly awaited his arrival, welcome him. But first, he meets with Lord Foley, the prime minister, and meets Lady Elizabeth, his beautiful niece. In England, people welcome him as a prophet. Maraton urges an extreme program of general strikes to collapse the whole English industrial sector and launch a prolonged fight for wealth redistribution. He makes persuasive arguments for the poor in a number of places. On the other side, Lord Foley believes that England’s enemies are waiting for a significant strike to disrupt the nation so that they may then invade and take over. Will they succeed in their plan? What will be the fate of England? Read A People’s Man to know the complete story.
