A proposito di questo titolo
 In Island Pharisees, Richard Shelton grapples with his conscience amidst the opulence of the British Empire at its zenith. As a member of the elite class, he begins to peel back the layers of his luxurious existence and confront the stark realities faced by the lower classes. Engaged to the affluent Antonia, Richards encounters with those less fortunate challenge his beliefs and lead him to reject the notion that his class is inherently virtuous, ultimately positioning him as a moral outcast. This thought-provoking narrative is a biting satire that explores the complexities of societal norms and personal integrity in a bygone era. (Summary by Simon Evers)
