As well as Bennetts novels, his non-fiction work has withstood the test of time, and is widely read today.

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Arnold Bennett (1867-1931) was an English novelist, journalist, essayist, playwright, and critic, best known for his fiction of the Staffordshire Potteries and for a wide body of practical, literary, and cultural writing. His major novels include The Old Wives' Tale, Clayhanger, Hilda Lessways, and Riceyman Steps, works noted for their realism, social observation, and interest in ordinary lives shaped by work, habit, ambition, and environment. Alongside his fiction, Bennett wrote essays and short books intended for general readers, bringing the same clarity and discipline to questions of reading, conduct, taste, self-improvement, and the use of time.In How to Live on 24 Hours a Day, Bennett turns from fiction to practical self-culture, addressing the modern worker's sense of fatigue, wasted time, and unrealised capacity. His advice is plain, unsentimental, and still recognisable: use the day consciously, train attention, read seriously, and refuse to let work consume the whole of life. For readers of classic self-help, time management, personal development, and early twentieth-century English prose, Bennett remains a sharp and highly readable guide to the disciplined use of ordinary life.
