Produktbeschreibung
When a man's single: A tale of literary life presents a study of transformation sparked by loss, ambition, and quiet resilience. It begins in a small town where an incident involving a missing child reflects the deeply woven bonds of community life. Against this backdrop, the narrative shifts focus to a man attempting to rebuild himself through a career in journalism. His journey away from the familiar rhythms of rural life into the complexities of urban literary circles becomes an exploration of personal reinvention. As the story moves into the realm of letters and pressrooms, it draws attention to the interplay between internal grief and external progress, where the protagonist must learn to balance creative pursuit with moral responsibility. The tale does not romanticize the literary profession; instead, it critiques its pressures, contradictions, and compromises. Yet, through the lens of modest victories and humane choices, it offers a portrayal of quiet dignity, anchoring its central character in the complicated reality of starting anew while still bearing the weight of an unresolved past.
Autorenporträt
Sir James Matthew Barrie, 1st Baronet, OM, was a Scottish novelist and playwright, most famously known for creating Peter Pan. He was born on May 9, 1860, in Kirriemuir, Scotland, and was educated in his hometown before moving to London. Barrie achieved success as both a novelist and a playwright, writing works that resonated with audiences for their wit, charm, and deeper social commentary. His best-known creation, Peter Pan, introduced the world to the timeless character of the boy who never grows up, influencing generations of readers and theatre goers. Barrie's works often explored themes of childhood, fantasy, and the complexities of growing up. In 1894, he married Mary Ansell, though their marriage ended in divorce in 1909. Barrie's later years saw him become a baronet and receive numerous accolades, including his appointment as a member of the Order of Merit. He passed away on June 19, 1937, in Marylebone, London, at the age of 77. His legacy, especially through Peter Pan, continues to influence literature, theatre, and film today.
