Posson Jone and Pere Raphael is a book by George W. Cable that tells the story of two men, Posson Jone and Pere Raphael, who come from very different backgrounds but find themselves intertwined in a series of unexpected events. The book is divided into two parts, each telling the story of one of the men. Posson Jone is a wealthy plantation owner in Louisiana who is known for his extravagant lifestyle and love of gambling. He is also a devoted family man who cares deeply for his wife and children. When his gambling debts become too much to handle, he is forced to sell his plantation and move his family to the city. There, he meets Pere Raphael, a Catholic priest who is known for his kindness and generosity. Pere Raphael's story is one of selflessness and sacrifice. He is a humble man who dedicates his life to helping others, often at great personal cost. He is beloved by the community for his compassion and wisdom. When he meets Posson Jone, he sees a man in need of guidance and takes him under his wing. As the two men become friends, they begin to realize that they have more in common than they initially thought. They both struggle with their own personal demons and find solace in each other's company. Eventually, their paths converge in a dramatic and unexpected way, leading to a surprising conclusion. This edition of the book features a new word setting that explains how and why the two tales are one. It is a fascinating exploration of human nature, friendship, and redemption that will captivate readers from beginning to end.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

One of the greatest and most celebrated Southern writers of his day, George Washington Cable (1844-1925) helped lead the local-color movement of the late 1800s with his pioneering use of dialect and his skill in the short-story form.
