Beschreibung

Hudson River Bracketed by Edith Wharton is a captivating exploration of ambition, creativity, and social boundaries in early 20th-century America. At its heart lies a gifted young writer who struggles to find his voice amid the allure of high society and the restraints of conventional expectations. As he journeys from a modest background to the sophisticated world of Manhattan's literary circles, Wharton paints a riveting portrait of the conflicts that arise when personal desire, moral codes, and cultural pressures collide. The novel's rich atmosphere immerses readers in the era's evolving literary landscape, showcasing the power of art to reshape both personal and public aspirations. Through finely drawn characters and sumptuous detail, Wharton unearths deep emotional truths, revealing the transformative potential of artistic passion in a restrictive environment. Blending elements of romance, drama, and social commentary, Hudson River Bracketed offers a vivid window into the complexities of class and the pursuit of creative fulfillment. Resonating with the wit and compassion characteristic of Wharton's oeuvre, it remains a timeless narrative about longing, self-discovery, and the sacrifices often demanded by dreams—ensuring its place as an essential read for admirers of both literary history and compelling storytelling.

Edith Wharton (1862–1937) was the first woman to receive the Pulitzer Prize, famed for her acute social observations and graceful prose, which dissected the hypocrisies of America's Gilded Age and beyond, influencing American literature through enduring works such as The House of Mirth, Ethan Frome, and The Age of Innocence.

    Darphopia is at war. 
    It has been just over a year since Riki Yamamoto became the new King of Bladelheim, and all he has in his mind are fears and worries. With his brother dethroned and locked away in the dungeons, King Riki must learn to rule over a forever-changed kingdom as he constantly questions whether he is doing right by his people. 
    But it is when King Riki pays a visit to his friend, Princess Jazmine of Aimheim, that a terrible threat to all Darphopia makes itself known. Everyday problems seem trivial now that the Darphopians' very existence is at stake. Despite their differences, despite their quarrels with one another, they all must fight to survive. 
    But whom, exactly, are they fighting? Who is this force of nature who has declared war upon them?

    Adrian Lethbridge temporarily exchanges his quiet country home in leafy Dorset for fashionable Regency Cheltenham to support his aunt as she introduces her three daughters into polite society. As he is fond of his younger cousins, Adrian is happy to escort them and even bestow advice on fashion and manners as they attract new friends and admirers. But the last thing he expects is to make a match of his own.
    
    
    When he meets handsome Captain Guy Ransome at an evening assembly, he is overwhelmed by his unexpected feelings and can't believe that they might be reciprocated. However, Guy seems more interested in the thrill of passing pleasure than a meeting of hearts and minds.
    
    
    In the heat of the chase, Guy impatiently regards Adrian's hesitance as time-wasting game playing, not realising his tried and tested seduction techniques send shy Adrian fleeing in the opposite direction. Can these contrasting characters reach a romantic compromise? And will the hunter discover his heart has been caught after all?
