Summary
«Arcadian Adventures with the Idle Rich» is a work of humorous fiction by Stephen Leacock first published in 1914. It is the follow-up to his 1912 classic «Sunshine Sketches of a Little Town.» Like that work, it is a sequence of interlocking stories set in one town, but instead of focusing on a small Canadian town in the countryside, it is set in a major American metropolis and its characters are the upper crust of society. Although currently not as well-known as the earlier book, «Arcadian Adventures» was extremely popular in North America at the time of its publication and for a while was considered the greater success. It was also translated and published by the Bolshevik government soon after the 1917 revolution and it became a bestseller in the Soviet Union. (Summary by Wikipedia)
