Sinopsis

George Meredith's "Evan Harrington — Complete" is a richly woven novel that explores the intricacies of class, identity, and the nature of love in Victorian England. Set against the backdrop of the emerging middle class, the narrative is marked by Meredith's characteristic wit and psychological insight, featuring complex characters that navigate a world of societal expectations. The plot centers on Evan Harrington, a young man caught between his humble origins and the allure of societal acceptance, reflecting the era's ongoing tensions regarding social mobility and personal ambition. Meredith's use of vivid imagery and lyrical prose invites readers into the protagonist's internal struggles, making this work both a compelling story and an incisive commentary on the human condition. George Meredith, an influential figure in the Victorian literary scene, was known for his deep understanding of human psychology and social dynamics, which undoubtedly informed the themes in "Evan Harrington." His own experiences as a writer and a participant in the changing social landscape of 19th-century England shaped his perspective on the far-reaching effects of class distinctions. Meredith's earlier works often addressed similar themes, establishing his literary style as both robust and reflective. I highly recommend "Evan Harrington — Complete" to readers interested in a nuanced exploration of class and identity, coupled with Meredith's distinctive narrative style. This novel not only entertains but also challenges contemporary readers to consider the enduring questions of social mobility and personal integrity.

The Interlopers - From their...

Saki Saki

Hector Hugh Munro, more familiarly known by his pen-name ‘Saki’ was born in what was then Akyab in British Burma on 18th December 1870. His father was an Inspector General for the Indian Imperial Police, and his mother the daughter of a Rear Admiral.
When he was 2 his mother died and he and his siblings were sent back to England to be raised by their grandmother and paternal maiden aunts in a strict, puritanical household near Barnstaple, Devon. Educated by governesses Saki used many of these women as character models for his later writing.
At 17 his father retried and returned to England and then embarked on a series of European travels with Saki and his siblings.
After a short stint working in Burma with the Indian Imperial Police Saki decided to move to London to make a living as a writer. Initially he wrote as a journalist for a number of newspapers and magazines before attempting an historical study, ‘The Rise of the Russian Empire’, whose real value lay in directing him to writing short stories instead, the first of which, ‘Dogged’, he published in 1899.
From here it was a short stab of the pen to writing political satire before in 1902 he became the foreign correspondent for The Morning Post, first in the Balkans, then Russia, Paris and back to London in 1908, where 'the agreeable life of a man of letters with a brilliant reputation awaited him.'
Collections of his short stories full of witty, mischievous and often macabre stories that satirized Edwardian society and two novels now appeared in the years up to the Great War. At its’ outbreak he was 43 but managed to join as an ordinary trooper. More than once he returned to the battlefield when officially too sick or injured.
On 14th November 1916 Hector Hugh Munro was sheltering in crater during the Battle of the Ancre, when he was shot and killed by a German sniper. According to several sources, his last words were "Put that bloody cigarette out!"
