Produktbeschreibung
Eden: An episode unfolds through the perspective of a young woman whose engagement to a mysterious and socially prominent figure invites both admiration and speculation. Her inner life is marked by conflict as she confronts the contrast between romantic ideals and the unsettling ambiguity surrounding her fianc s past. The early chapters delve into the scrutiny that accompanies public relationships, especially for someone raised with beauty, intellect, and societal prominence. Despite external admiration, she remains internally unsettled by shifting perceptions and lingering uncertainties. A prior emotional disappointment continues to influence her cautious feelings, even as her current companion sparks fascination. Through subtle interactions and an undercurrent of tension, the narrative sets up a world in which appearances are paramount, but emotional clarity is elusive. Gossip and reputational shadows weigh on her decisions, revealing a struggle not only with the identity of those around her but with her own beliefs about love and loyalty. The initial scenes emphasize how perception, memory, and the desire for genuine connection will be tested by social conventions and hidden truths.
Autorenporträt
Edgar Evertson Saltus was born on October 8, 1855, in New York City to parents Francis Henry Saltus and Julia Ida Evertson Saltus. Known for his elaborate and elegant prose, he became a distinctive voice in American literature during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. His writing style was often compared to that of European decadent authors such as Joris-Karl Huysmans, Gabriele D'Annunzio, and Oscar Wilde, with whom he shared a fascination for aestheticism, moral ambiguity, and philosophical pessimism. Saltus began his career in law but turned to literature, where his refined diction and interest in metaphysical questions garnered both attention and controversy. His work spanned fiction, essays, and philosophical treatises, often exploring the limits of morality, beauty, and human desire. Among his notable writings are The Philosophy of Disenchantment and The Anatomy of Negation, which reflect his engagement with skepticism and nihilism. He lived much of his life in New York, where he was a known figure in intellectual and literary circles. He married Marie Saltus in 1911 and remained with her until his death on July 31, 1921, in Manhattan, at the age of 65.
