Produktbeschreibung
Rich men s children begins in the rugged foothills of California, where figures of immense wealth confront the challenges of isolation and shifting identities. Against a backdrop shaped by the legacy of mining, the narrative focuses on the tensions that arise when privilege intersects with the raw environment of frontier life. The early scenes establish a journey through cold terrain, where the starkness of the land mirrors the emotional distance between individuals navigating roles shaped by fortune. Upon arriving at a remote settlement, attention quickly turns to the appearance and aura of affluence, sparking curiosity among locals and casting a spotlight on the burdens wealth imposes. A quiet meal in a modest inn becomes a stage for subtle cues gestures, silences, and glances that hint at deeper emotional rifts and unspoken expectations. These moments foreshadow conflicts tied not only to social perception but to the complex legacies of prosperity. The opening passages carefully balance physical detail with psychological tension, introducing questions about the cost of financial power and the quiet unraveling of personal connections in its shadow.
Autorenporträt
Geraldine Bonner was born on Staten Island, New York, into a literary environment shaped by her father, John Bonner, a journalist and historical writer. Her early years were marked by a significant move to Colorado, where she experienced life in mining camps, a setting that would later influence much of her fiction. After relocating to San Francisco, she began her professional writing career at the Argonaut newspaper in 1887. Bonner's writing extended beyond novels into short stories that appeared in prominent periodicals such as Collier's Weekly, Harper's Weekly, Harper's Monthly, and Lippincott's. Her literary contributions reflect a deep engagement with themes of social structure, isolation, and the American experience, particularly within mining and frontier communities. Geraldine Bonner died in New York City on June 18, 1930, leaving behind a diverse body of work shaped by both rugged landscapes and human complexity. Her parents' names include John Bonner and his spouse, though her mother's name is not recorded.
