Produktbeschreibung

THERE is a letter for you, monsieur," said the concierge of the Hôtel du Soleil et de l'Ecosse. He was a shabby concierge sharing in the tarnish of the shabby hotel which (for the information of those fortunate ones who only know of the Ritz, and the Meurice and other such-like palaces) is situated in the unaristocratic neighbourhood of the Halles Centrales.

Autorenporträt

William John Locke was a British novelist, dramatist, and playwright, celebrated for his short stories and contributions to literature. Born on March 20, 1863, in Saint George, United Kingdom, he was the son of John Locke and Sarah Elizabeth Locke. He achieved recognition through his works that often explored the complexities of human emotions and relationships. Locke's writing was marked by a focus on the internal struggles of his characters, often set against the backdrop of societal expectations. In 1911, he married Aimee Maxwell, with whom he spent the remainder of his life. Locke's works gained popularity during his lifetime, and he was particularly known for his play "The Morals of Marcus Ordeyne," which reflected his keen insights into the human condition. His literary career was distinguished by a blend of both prose and drama, and his ability to delve into the psychological and emotional aspects of his characters set his work apart. Locke passed away on May 15, 1930, in Paris, France, leaving behind a legacy of thoughtful and compelling writing that continues to be appreciated by readers and scholars.
