Beschreibung

In 'Mrs. Ames,' E. F. Benson intricately weaves a psychological tapestry that delves into the complexities of human relationships through the lens of its titular character, Mrs. Ames. The novel is marked by its sharp wit and keen observation, reflecting the social mores of the early 20th century. With a narrative style that oscillates between interior monologue and third-person commentary, Benson masterfully captures the subtleties of Mrs. Ames' emotional landscape as she navigates the challenges of love, isolation, and societal expectation within a genteel English setting. E. F. Benson, an accomplished author and member of a prominent literary family, drew from his own experiences in upper-middle-class society to craft 'Mrs. Ames.' His keen understanding of social dynamics and his background in classical literature provide a rich context for the novel's exploration of psychological depth and character development. Benson's own life experiences, including his travels and his intimate familiarity with both men and women in various social strata, lend authenticity to the intricate interpersonal dynamics depicted in the narrative. Readers seeking an insightful exploration of the human condition will find 'Mrs. Ames' a compelling addition to their literary collection. Benson's incisive prose and nuanced character study invite readers to reflect on their own lives, making the novel not just a story but a mirror revealing the truths of human existence. This book is highly recommended for those interested in early 20th-century literature and the complexities of social interaction.

    Five more minutes. That was all the woman standing outside his floundering business, Todd Jones Realty, wanted. Just five minutes. What could go wrong? Surprisingly, everything. And that’s what Todd Jones is about to learn when he allows the enigmatic Caterina Kadlec to enter his office. He’s hoping that her wealthy client, and the big fat commission he’ll earn, will be the answer to his prayers. Unfortunately, Caterina has other plans and those plans include grand larceny. As for the murder, well, sometimes things don’t go as planned, do they? Nope, they sure don’t. And that’s what Todd is also about to learn and learn the hard way. No matter, Todd always has plans of his own and has no qualms about implementing them. Because when it comes to ethics and morality, it’s all a gray area as far as Todd is concerned. To complicate matters, his girlfriend has left him. Again. And his live-in mother, who already insists on keeping an annoying pet pig named Mr. Squeals, has invited a homeless Russian woman to take up residence, thus kicking him out of his home office. If it wasn’t for downhill, it seems Todd’s life would have nowhere to go. And he’s going to have to do something about that…

    A writer finds wealth, fame, and sorrow in midcentury Manhattan in “a tremendous novel . . . full of wisdom and pain” by the #1 New York Times–bestselling author (Los Angeles Times). Arthur Youngblood Hawke, an ex-Navy man, moves from hardscrabble rural Kentucky to New York, hoping to make his mark on the literary world. His first novel becomes an instant hit, and he is toasted by critics and swept along on a tide of celebrity. But as Hawke gives himself over to the lush life that gilds artistic success—indulging in an affair with an older married woman and a flirtation with his editor, dabbling in real estate developments as his second novel brings him massive wealth and even bigger opportunities—he soon finds himself in a self-destructive downward spiral. Inspired by the life of Thomas Wolfe, and spanning from the Manhattan publishing world to Hollywood to Europe, Youngblood Hawke is both a riveting saga of postwar glamor and a poignant tale of one man’s rise and fall. “A big, powerful, exciting novel . . . Wouk has a tremendous narrative gift.” —San Francisco Chronicle “As searing and accurate a picture of New York in the late 1940s and 1950s as Bonfire of the Vanities was of its period. . . . And icing the cake are some marvelous Hollywood sections, including the best agent-in-action-on-two-telephones scenes ever captured in print.” —Los Angeles Times
