520			_a"His Own People" by Booth Tarkington is a novel written during the early 20th century. The story centers on Robert Russ Mellin, a young man from a small town who is eager to immerse himself in the glamorous world of European society, particularly the elite culture of Rome. As he navigates this new environment, he experiences the allure and deception inherent in high society. At the start of the novel, Mellin is captivated by a vibrant scene in the Grand Continental Hotel's palm-room where he observes the distinguished guests. Overwhelmed by joy, he considers himself among "his own people," having yearned for such encounters since his youth. Initially filled with hopeful romantic notions, he encounters Madame de Vaurigard—a charismatic countess who further ignites his fascination with this life of elegance. Through a series of encounters and observations, Mellin's idealism clashes with the reality of social dynamics, foreshadowing a journey into the complexities of identity, ambition, and the potential for betrayal in his quest for acceptance within this new society.
