Produktbeschreibung
Tubal Cain by Joseph Hergesheimer, written in the early 20th century, explores the complex themes of ambition, identity, and personal reinvention. The story follows Alexander Hulings, a disillusioned lawyer who finds himself at a crossroads in both his career and personal life. Struggling with his professional failures and a stagnant engagement to his fiancée, Hallie Flower, Hulings becomes increasingly dissatisfied with the direction of his life. The novel opens with Hulings in a melancholic state, reflecting on his unfulfilled aspirations and the weight of his unremarkable existence in the legal world. The novel explores the themes of reinvention and the search for meaning through labor, as Hulings confronts his own sense of inadequacy and attempts to build something tangible that will give him a sense of pride and accomplishment. Through his interactions with the characters and the transformative journey to Tubal Cain, Hulings embarks on a path of self-discovery, testing his limits and striving to transcend the disappointments of his past. Ultimately, Tubal Cain is a novel about the search for self-worth and the quest for meaning in a world where personal failure often intersects with the desire to forge a lasting legacy.

Autorenporträt
Joseph Hergesheimer was an American author who lived from February 15, 1880, to April 25, 1954. He was best known for writing realistic stories about the hedonistic lives of the rich. It was February 15, 1880, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, that Hergesheimer was born. He went to a Quaker school for school and then graduated from the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. The Lay Anthony, Hergesheimer's first book, came out in 1914. The next book, Three Black Pennys, came out in 1917. It was a fictional account of the lives of three generations of Pennsylvania ironmasters. It established the author's way of writing about upper-class people using what he called "aestheticism," a style of flowery description. Three Black Pennies was also the first American book that Alfred A. Knopf, a new publishing house, put out. The books Java Head (1919), Linda Condon (1919), and Balisand (1924) by Hergesheimer also got good reviews.
