Produktbeschreibung
Daughters Of Men explores the complexities of social interactions, admiration, and disillusionment within a dynamic cultural context. Set in Athens, the novel delves into the emotional journey of a young aristocrat who, overwhelmed by the glamour of high society, grapples with his idealization of people and his evolving perception of reality. His initial admiration for a celebrated pianist quickly transforms into disappointment, as he witnesses her behavior contradicting the image he had built in his mind. The narrative highlights the tension between ideals and reality, particularly in the context of young love and societal expectations. As the story progresses, it addresses the emotional conflicts that arise when one s idealistic views collide with the complexities of real-life interactions. The novel also touches on the cultural and class divides that shape the characters' lives, emphasizing how social status influences their relationships and personal growth. Through these emotional and social struggles, the novel examines the process of self-discovery and the loss of innocence that often accompanies the realization that ideals can rarely withstand the test of reality.
Autorenporträt
Hannah Lynch was an Irish feminist, novelist, journalist, and translator, born on March 25, 1859, in Dublin, Ireland. Raised in a predominantly female household, she experienced a strong sense of nationalism, influenced by her father and stepfather, both committed Fenians. After her father s early death, Lynch s mother remarried, and the family became involved in the Irish nationalist movement. Lynch worked as a sub-editor and governess in Europe, using her diverse experiences to fuel her writing. She was an active member of the Ladies' Land League and worked closely with notable figures like Fanny Parnell. Lynch s literary career was marked by her satirical sketches, short stories, and political fiction. Her works often addressed political and cultural issues in Ireland, sometimes sparking controversy. Her first novel, Through Troubled Waters, was based on a tragic real-life incident in Galway, causing a stir due to its portrayal of the rural clergy's role in the event. Lynch's writings also included translations, literary criticism, and travel writing. She spent much of her working life in Paris, continuing to publish and contribute to Irish literature. Lynch passed away in Paris on January 9, 1904. Her works remain an important part of Irish literary history.
