Description
⭐ Catholic Star-Rated Review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Catholic Vault Rating: 5 out of 5 Stars H. G. Wells’ Kipps is a deeply human Victorian novel exploring wealth, humility, and the moral dangers of worldly ambition. Arthur Kipps, a simple draper’s apprentice, suddenly inherits a fortune and enters high society. Yet as he rises, he discovers that wealth cannot replace sincerity, virtue, and genuine love. The novel reflects timeless Catholic themes: the spiritual danger of materialism, the dignity of honest work, and the importance of remaining faithful to one's true moral character. Wells presents a powerful reminder that happiness is not found in status, but in humility, authenticity, and love. A moving and morally rich classic for thoughtful listeners.
