The garden of resurrection : $b being the love story of an ugly man

"The Garden of Resurrection: Being the Love Story of an Ugly Man" by E. Temple Thurston is a story set in the early 1900s about an unattractive and secluded man searching for affection and acceptance amid his struggles with self-esteem. As the main figure interacts with people from various backgrounds -- such as an artisan and a nursemaid -- he is forced to consider his perceptions of life, beauty, and human existence. As the "ugly devil" faces isolation in contrast to the connections he witnesses around him, his journey begins with a deep yearning for love and an eventual relationship with a character named Clarissa, where beauty and connections become the most significant components of his human experience.
