Produktbeschreibung

In "The Day Before Yesterday," Richard Middleton weaves a rich tapestry of human experience, blending elements of fantasy with keen observations of daily life. Set against the backdrop of early 20th-century England, Middleton's prose is marked by lyrical elegance, yet it possesses an undercurrent of stark realism. His explorations into the themes of time, memory, and the fleeting nature of existence resonate deeply in this collection of short stories, where the ordinary is infused with magical realism, reflecting the transitional era in which he wrote. Literary contemporaries such as H.G. Wells and James Joyce influence his narrative style, but Middleton carves his own path with an inventive use of surrealism and a philosophical approach to storytelling. Richard Middleton, a lesser-known yet significant figure in early modern literature, was profoundly influenced by the tumultuous changes of his time, including the spiritual upheavals and the onset of World War I. His brief but impactful literary career is marked by a poignant introspection, drawing on personal experiences and the socio-political milieu of early 20th-century Britain. Middleton's own struggles with mental health and existential thought undoubtedly informed his writing, enriching the emotional depth of his work. This collection is recommended for readers who appreciate a blend of realism and fantasy and seek to delve into the human psyche's complexities. "The Day Before Yesterday" offers an intriguing glimpse into the past, masterfully capturing the essence of nostalgia and the passage of time, inviting its audience to reflect upon their own memories and the stories that shape their lives.

Autorenporträt

Born in the colonies, educated in England, Richard Middleton is a member of the Society of Archer Antiquaries and now lives in the Colonies again.His wife, who edited out all the vainglorious bits of this biography (which is why it is now so short), has declined (refused point-blank) to have The Practical Guide to Man-Powered Bullets dedicated to her, and only wishes it recorded that she is a saint for putting up with all Richard's experimental weapon-making activities.Though Richard's interest always returns to the simple catapult, over the last 30 years he has made countless bows, crossbows, and even airguns to study the velocity and trajectory patterns of their missiles. He likes to test things for himself rather than to believe handed-down orthodoxies - an attitude not without its costs, some might add.
