Produktbeschreibung
True and other stories presents a sequence of narratives that examine the subtleties of human emotion, the tension between historical memory and personal longing, and the fragility of connection. Beginning with a tale situated in 16th-century England, the collection explores how ambition, duty, and misfortune reshape the course of love. The stories are not simply romantic or tragic; they are meditations on permanence and the inevitable loss that shadows hope. Through restrained yet lyrical prose, the text evokes lives shaped by forces beyond individual control death, distance, time while portraying characters whose internal lives remain vivid. The collection probes not only love's enduring presence but also its power to wound, to elevate, and to haunt. Historical moments are not just backdrops but active agents in shaping human fates. As individuals navigate personal choices within broader currents of history and social expectation, their stories become reflections on the vulnerability and resilience of feeling. There is a quiet dignity in the sorrow depicted, and a reverence for the private consequences of public change, underscoring the lasting emotional impressions left by fleeting encounters.
Autorenporträt
George Parsons Lathrop was born on August 25, 1851, in Honolulu, Hawaii, to George Alfred Lathrop. He became recognized for his work as a poet, novelist, and editor during the late 19th century. His literary output included poetry, fiction, and critical essays, often centered on emotional struggle, national identity, and spiritual reflection. Lathrop was instrumental in efforts to reform copyright laws in the United States, contributing to the establishment of the first international copyright agreement. His writing career extended to editorial roles in major periodicals, and he was widely published in leading magazines of his time. Lathrop's works reflected both aesthetic sensitivity and a commitment to broader cultural and legal issues affecting authors. His interest in the intersection of literature and law helped define the rights of American writers at a time when legal protections were minimal. He died on April 19, 1898, in New York. Though his life was brief, his legacy included both artistic contributions and important advocacy that influenced the publishing world and literary community in lasting ways.
