Through the Eye of the Needle: A Romance
Through the Eye of the Needle: A Romance, written by William Dean Howells in the early 20th century, is an epistolary novel that contrasts American society with the idealized Altrurian Commonwealth. The story follows Aristides Homos, an emissary from Altruria, as he reflects on his experiences in the United States around 1893, critiquing the cultural and economic dynamics he observes in New York. Through a series of letters, Howells explores themes of charity, class disparity, and domestic life, offering both admiration and critique of American values during a time of significant social change.
