The book "The Eyes of the World" combines social observation, romanticism, and spiritual study. The story revolves around the brilliant but struggling artist John Hathaway and his relationships with Ruth and Eleanor. As the story progresses, the book explores societal themes and the characters' divergent points of view. Relationships and more general themes of morality, ethics, and the search for a meaningful existence become interwoven with John Hathaway's artistic journey. The protagonists struggle with issues of faith, love, and how decisions affect people both personally and socially. "The Eyes of the World" showcases Harold Bell Wright's fascination with moral and ethical issues, derived from his personal encounters and perceptions of American culture during the early 1900s. After its publication, the book gained enormous popularity and is now regarded as one of Wright's best-selling books. It makes a substantial contribution to American literature of the age by examining timeless topics that readers find compelling today.

“Ursula Le Guin at her best . . . This is an important collection of eloquent, elegant pieces by one of our most acclaimed contemporary writers.” —Elizabeth Hand, The Washington Post Book World “I have decided that the trouble with print is, it never changes its mind,” writes Ursula K. Le Guin in her introduction to Dancing at the Edge of the World. But she has, and here is the record of that change in the decade since the publication of her last nonfiction collection, The Language of the Night. And what a mind—strong, supple, disciplined, playful, ranging over the whole field of its concerns, from modern literature to menopause, from utopian thought to rodeos, with an eloquence, wit, and precision that makes for exhilarating reading. “If you are tired of being able to predict what a writer will say next, if you are bored stiff with minimalism, if you want excess and risk and intelligence and pure orneriness, try Le Guin.” —Mary Mackey, San Francisco Chronicle
