Reading Riceyman Steps | Alexandria
Read Riceyman Steps by Arnold Bennett. Navigating obsession's dark grip reveals why Bennett's Riceyman Steps still haunts: a miserly bookseller starves himself to death amid endless wealth, proving how greed poisons the soul. This chilling portrait of self-destruction in London's slums exposes how material abundance often breeds spiritual poverty—a paradox even more relevant in today's consumer culture.
