Quality by Galsworthy

Quality” by John Galsworthy was first published in “The Inn of Tranquility: Studies and Essays” in 1912. The story, written in first person narrative from an unknown narrator’s perspective, is a beautiful depiction of today’s cruel reality. The plot is set on the two traditional German shoemakers who did not compromise with quality and craftsmanship but met the sad fate of extinction in an age of marketing where success is determined...
“by advertisement, not by work.”

The story starts with the description of the boot shop; on top was the name plate ‘Gessler Brothers’ and a few shoes displayed on the window. They make shoes on order. The narrator then narrates one of his meetings with Mr. Gessler. He says it has not been possible to go to him much because the shoes he made have lasted very long and are the best of their kind.

Than for two year, narrator leaves for abroad merely for year. While returning back first he visited Mr. Gessler and order shoe. When he decided to appreciate Mr. Gessler’s craftsmanship he went to the shop and surprisingly what he came to know is really shocking for readers too.

It is that Gessler died from starvation; he used to devote himself to shoe making so much that he used to forget about everything else. All the money went in the rents and leather. The fate was quite obvious from the beginning. But both the narrator and the young man agrees that the Gessler brothers made good quality boots..
It is one of my favorite short story. This is the story of a person who love his work more than anything even his own life is less important than his craftsmanship. Now a days we see that craftsmanship is dying and machinery takes3it place. I think when old people like Mr. Gessler would feeling this change and It would be hard to adjust with moving time for them with nostalgia.
