Produktbeschreibung
The Disowned Volume 1 by Edward Bulwer-Lytton introduces readers to Clarence Linden, a young man caught between the pressures of society and a desire for freedom. The novel opens on a warm evening in the English countryside, where Clarence encounters a gypsy on his way to the town. This meeting sparks a journey into self-discovery and adventure, as Clarence is drawn to the gypsy's lifestyle of independence and escape from societal constraints. As Clarence spends time with the gypsy community, he is captivated by their sense of freedom and camaraderie, a stark contrast to the emotional burdens of his past. His background is marked by feelings of abandonment and a lack of connection with his heritage, leading him to question his place in the rigid societal structure that governs his life. The gypsies, with their warmth and zest for life, offer him a taste of a different world-one of adventure, belonging, and possibility. This opening sets the stage for Clarence's internal struggle between societal expectations and the alluring freedom of a life unbound by rules, and the unfolding narrative promises to explore themes of identity, belonging, and the tension between personal aspirations and social obligations

Autorenporträt
Edward Bulwer-Lytton (1803-1873) was a prominent English novelist, poet, playwright, and politician, best known for his contributions to Victorian literature. His works often explored themes of social justice, romance, mystery, and the supernatural. He was one of the most widely read and influential authors of his time, and his works were popular across both literary and social circles. Bulwer-Lytton is perhaps most famous for his novels The Last Days of Pompeii (1834), Eugene Aram (1832), and The Disowned (1829), among others. He is also credited with popularizing certain literary tropes, such as the Gothic novel, through works like Zanoni (1842), which combined mysticism and philosophical themes. One of Bulwer-Lytton's most famous phrases, ""It was a dark and stormy night,"" has become iconic, often cited for its melodramatic style. In addition to his literary success, Bulwer-Lytton had a significant political career, serving as a Member of Parliament and as a Secretary of State for the Colonies.
