The Stacpoole, Margaret Robson creator Stacpoole, H. De Vere (Henry De Vere) 1863-1951 text utu 2017 monographic en 1 online resource : multiple file formats "The Man Who Found Himself (Uncle Simon)" by Margaret and H. De Vere Stacpoole is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows Simon Pettigrew, a respected but joyless solicitor, who has unknowingly been living with a dormant personality from his youth. This second persona resurfaces in an extraordinary manner, leading Simon on a journey of self-discovery and reckless abandon as he grapples with who he once was and what his actions mean for his present life. The opening of the narrative introduces Simon Pettigrew, a traditional and prosperous lawyer who seems to embody the traits of his family legacy—steady, responsible, and impervious to folly. However, hints of his colorful past emerge, suggesting he was once a spirited young man prone to excess. On a seemingly ordinary day, Simon discovers a wallet filled with a substantial sum of money in his safe, unnervingly reminiscent of a similar event that happened a year prior when he inexplicably lost a month of his life and a significant amount of cash. This peculiar situation pushes Simon to consult with Dr. Oppenshaw, a neurologist, which unearths the notion of Lethmann's disease—a condition that allows dormant youthful impulses to resurface, setting Simon on a path filled with introspection and chaotic adventures as he confronts the ghost of his past.
