Produktbeschreibung

Flip: A California Romance is a charming and witty novella by Bret Harte that tells the story of Flip Chubb, a spirited young woman raised in the rough-and-tumble mining camps of California. Brought up among frontiersmen and fortune-seekers, Flip defies traditional feminine expectations with her boldness, intelligence, and sharp tongue. When love enters her life in the form of a refined Eastern gentleman, she must navigate cultural differences, personal identity, and societal expectations. Blending humor, romance, and social commentary, Harte paints a vivid portrait of post-Gold Rush California and explores themes of gender, class, and self-determination. With its engaging heroine and lively dialogue, Flip offers a refreshing and unconventional take on love and independence in the American West.

Autorenporträt

Bret Harte was an American writer and poet, renowned for his short stories about the California Gold Rush, often featuring miners, gamblers, and other colorful figures of the time. His literary career spanned more than forty years, during which he produced not only short stories but also poetry, plays, book reviews, editorials, and magazine sketches. Born on August 25, 1836, in Albany, New York, he was the son of Elizabeth Ostrander and Henry Harte. Harte's works helped shape American literature, particularly through his vivid portrayal of life during the Gold Rush era. In 1862, he married Anna Griswold, and together they had four children: Griswold, Ethel, Francis King, and Jessamy. Harte's writing brought him widespread recognition, though he spent much of his later life in Europe. He passed away on May 5, 1902, in London at the age of 65. Known for his ability to capture the spirit of the American West, his legacy continues to influence writers exploring the complexities of the frontier experience.
