Produktbeschreibung
Youth challenges examines the friction between inherited duty and personal conviction within a social structure dominated by wealth and influence. It explores how internal conflict arises when tradition collides with shifting cultural and economic realities. The pressure to uphold a family legacy becomes a test of identity as the protagonist confronts rigid expectations in business, class, and marriage. The story amplifies the contrast between privilege and protest, revealing how exposure to labor unrest forces a reevaluation of long-held beliefs. Rather than depicting conflict as purely external, it focuses on the quiet rebellion of thought, where questioning one's place in the hierarchy becomes a radical act. Tension builds through decisions that challenge authority and social norms, highlighting how true growth often involves unlearning. The generational divide underscores the difficulty of change in institutions shaped by custom, especially when those institutions benefit from inequality. Through moments of reflection and confrontation, the protagonist begins to reshape values previously accepted without question. The narrative portrays transformation not as a rejection of roots but as a redefinition of legacy, showing how moral clarity can emerge in the face of inherited power.
Autorenporträt
Clarence Budington Kelland was an American writer. He was a notable literary personality in his heyday, describing himself as "the best second-rate writer in America" and being prolific and versatile. His most well-known juvenile works were the Mark Tidd and Catty Atkins series, while his best-known adult work was the Scattergood Baines series. Kelland's other famous adult books include: Conflict (1920), Rhoda Fair (1925), Hard Money (1930), Arizona (1939), and Dangerous Angel (1953). Kelland's name lives on in hundreds of films based on his works, notably Speak Easily (1932), starring Buster Keaton. The film Mr. Deeds Goes to Town (1936), starring Gary Cooper, was based on the Kelland serial Opera Hat from The American Magazine. Opera Hat was eventually adapted into the short-lived television series Mr. Deeds Goes to Town (1969 70) and the film Mr. Deeds (2002). One of Kelland's most well-known characters, Scattergood Baines, appeared in six Hollywood pictures from 1941 to 1943, starring Guy Kibbee as Baines. The Baines character was a benevolent but often misunderstood guy who tried to aid the residents of his little village.
