Publisher's Synopsis

Social Abominations: Or The Follies Of Modern Society is a book written by Norman Morand Roumane and first published in 1897. The book is a scathing critique of the societal norms and values of the late 19th century, and explores the various ways in which these norms are harmful to individuals and society as a whole. Roumane covers a wide range of topics in the book, including the treatment of women, the obsession with wealth and materialism, the hypocrisy of religious institutions, and the negative effects of industrialization and urbanization. He argues that these societal trends are leading to a decline in morality and a loss of human values, and that they must be addressed if society is to progress and improve.The book is written in a passionate and often confrontational style, with Roumane using vivid language and powerful imagery to drive home his points. While some of his arguments may seem dated or extreme by modern standards, the book remains an important historical document that sheds light on the social and cultural issues of the late 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
