Produktbeschreibung
A shimmering window into a bustling campus, The Diary Of A Freshman invites you to step inside a late nineteenth-century American college through the intimate letters of a young observer. This epistolary novel blends diary fiction with sharp social observation and satire, tracing coming-of-age themes against a lively campus backdrop. The voice is bright, candid, and witty, offering humour and insight in equal measure as it maps the early years of student life, the foibles of youth, and the earnest ambitions that shape a whole generation. It is equally at home on a casual reader's shelf and a serious study for campus novels and academic satire fans, making it ideal for book clubs and individual readers alike. Historically, the work stands as a vivid document of the era's university culture and literary craft, a touchstone for late nineteenth-century American campus life and the broader tradition of diary fiction. Its enduring appeal lies in its clear English wit, affectionate mockery, and honest portrayal of student aspiration, social circles, and the rituals of college life. Selling points you will feel from the first page: Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for todays and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure. A must for both college readers and classic-literature collectors alike.
Autorenporträt
Charles Macomb Flandrau (1871-1938) was an American author and essayist whose literary contributions were most notable in the early part of the 20th century. Born into a wealthy family, Flandrau had the privilege of a refined education, which later found expression in his writings. He is perhaps best known for his book 'The Diary of a Freshman' (1901), a work that offers a humorous and insightful glimpse into college life at the turn of the century. The narrative captures the quintessential coming-of-age story through the lens of a young man's first year at University, richly imbued with the zeitgeist of the period. Flandrau's prose is characterized by its wit, charm, and an underlying sharpness that conveys his keen observations of social mores and human nature. His work stands as an important document of its time, offering not just entertainment but also sociological insight into the milieu of American collegiate experience. While Flandrau's body of work may not be as widely recognized today, 'The Diary of a Freshman' remains a significant contribution to American letters and a testament to his literary talent.
