Roderick Hudson
(1875)
~
Roderick is unaware of nascent beauty which is lurking inside of him. Things come easy to Roderick. The women in his life smooth the way. They, in turn feel blessed to be in his presence... Roderick is inspired by all things lovely. He sees the world through the lens of the ideal. He feels a lack for something more. Something nameless is missing from his world. Roland sees in Roderick a rare talent which deserves a chance to grow and to develop. Roland has time and resources, and he is restless... Roland wants to do a Great Good. Who could imagine that two splendid souls could collide at just the right moment?--Submitted by Christina Doorrs.
