Produktbeschreibung
In the flickering shadows of 1920s England, where society teeters between the echoes of war and the whispers of modernity, emerges a tapestry of tales that delve into the very essence of human nature. This short story collection, long out of print and now lovingly republished by Alpha Editions, offers a vivid exploration of the interwar period context, capturing the societal observations of a world in flux. Each narrative, rich with character-driven narratives, invites fans of classic literature to journey through the complexities of early 20th century fiction. As a British literature anthology, this work stands as both a literary studies resource and a window into a bygone era, drawing parallels to the evocative style of Somerset Maugham. The stories resonate with the keen insights familiar to Evelyn Waugh readers, presenting a nuanced portrayal of the human condition that remains strikingly relevant today. This edition is not just a reprint; it's a collector's item and a cultural treasure, meticulously restored for today's and future generations to appreciate. Immerse yourself in these timeless stories, where the ordinary becomes extraordinary and the past speaks to the present. This revival is more than a nod to history; it's a celebration of the enduring power of storytelling, a bridge connecting us to the lives and emotions of those who came before.
