Produktbeschreibung
The Disowned Volume 5 by Edward Bulwer Lytton is indeed a compelling exploration of moral philosophy, personal integrity, and the struggles between idealism and survival. The central character, Glendower, is caught in the tragic contradiction between his noble aspirations and the severe, often brutal, conditions of his life. The novel delves into the tension between maintaining personal virtue and the compromises one might be forced to make when faced with overwhelming external pressures, such as poverty, hunger, and the suffering of loved ones. Bulwer-Lytton's treatment of Glendower's internal conflict reflects the larger concerns of 19th-century literature, where the individual's morality is tested in an unforgiving social landscape. The novel's exploration of honor, guilt, and personal responsibility in the face of adversity remains relevant, illustrating the persistent human struggle with moral choices in a world often indifferent to individual suffering. In this way, The Disowned not only presents a gripping character study but also engages with broader philosophical themes, reflecting the author's own concerns with social justice, the nature of virtue, and the consequences of ethical choices.

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.
