Über diesen Titel

Reseña del editor:

Like THE OLD WIVES' TALE, CLAYHANGER is set in the five towns and, among many things, contains a superb portrait of an autocratic father. Telling the story of a boy growing to manhood in the last quarter of the nineteenth century, Bennett was nevermore successful in revealing the interestingness of an apparently ordinary man than in Edwin Clayhanger.

Biografía del autor:

Arnold Bennett (1867-1931) was one of the most versatile, ambitious and successful British novelists of the early 20th century. His novels and short stories both celebrate and deplore a rapidly changing Britain. Much of his greatest work is set where he grew up, in the Potteries of the West Midlands. Inspired by Zola and Maupassant, he realized that this world of brutal industrial work and rapid social change, religious severity and material temptation, was the perfect backdrop for everything from comedy to tragedy. He died of typhoid.
