520			_a"The Manhattaners: A Story of the Hour" by Edward S. Van Zile is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story introduces us to two contrasting characters, John Fenton, a weary and cynical journalist in his forties, and Richard Stoughton, an enthusiastic young man embarking on his career in New York City’s newspaper industry. The narrative explores themes of ambition, societal norms, and the complexity of human relationships as Richard navigates his way through life and encounters characters who challenge and inspire him. At the start of the novel, the two men are engaged in a contemplative discussion in City Hall Park, reflecting on a statue of Nathan Hale. Fenton warns Richard about the perils of youthful ideals, suggesting that such enthusiasm can lead to ruin, drawing analogies to historical oppression and personal experience. Their conversation touches on deeper societal issues, contrasting Richard's optimistic outlook with Fenton’s disillusionment. As they continue their journey through the city, Fenton challenges Richard to learn from the realities of life, setting the stage for Richard's development and interpersonal relationships, particularly with the wealthy and artistically inclined Percy-Bartletts, whose world seems both alluring and fraught with complications.
