"Buried Alive: A Tale of These Days" by Arnold Bennett is a story from the late 1800s about Priam Farll, a famous but lonely painter. Even thought the portrait of a policeman made him rich and well-known, Priam is very shy and finds it hard to connect with people. He lives alone in a big, empty house and depends a lot on his helper, Henry Leek. The story shows how Priam is brilliant at painting but feels lost and unable to handle everyday life, creating a funny and sad look at who we are and what we're worth.
