Publisher's Synopsis

Social Abominations: Or The Follies Of Modern Society is a book written by Norman Morand Roumane in 1897. The book is a critique of the social norms and practices of the time, with a focus on the upper class and their behavior. Roumane takes a critical view of the excesses and extravagances of the wealthy, and the ways in which they use their wealth and status to oppress and exploit others. He also examines the hypocrisy and moral decay of society, and the ways in which people are corrupted by their desire for wealth and power. Through a series of essays and anecdotes, Roumane exposes the social abominations of his time, and calls for a more just and equitable society. The book is a fascinating glimpse into the social and cultural attitudes of the late 19th century, and remains relevant today as a critique of the excesses and inequalities of modern society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
