    About this ebook

    H.G. Wells' novella, "A Deal In Ostriches," presents a post-Victorian commentary on the consequences of unbridled capitalism and its effects on personal relationships. By way of an allegory involving the somewhat absurd yet strangely visceral trade of ostriches, Wells examines the pursuit of wealth and power as a driving force behind human behavior.
