Beschreibung

In 'The Mettle of the Pasture,' James Lane Allen crafts a richly woven narrative set against the backdrop of rural Kentucky, blending elements of local color with profound philosophical inquiry. The novel explores themes of identity, nature, and the passage of time through the lens of its protagonist, who grapples with the weight of heritage and the promises of the future. Allen's lyrical prose and vivid descriptions bring to life the pastoral landscapes and the intricate dynamics of a close-knit community, situating the work within the regionalist tradition of late 19th-century American literature while also echoing the introspective style of contemporaries such as Mark Twain and Henry James. James Lane Allen, a seminal figure in the early American literary canon, was profoundly influenced by his Kentucky roots and the tumultuous social changes of his era. His ability to capture the essence of human experience and the natural world was honed through his upbringing in a region steeped in both beauty and hardship. Allen's scholarly pursuits and his experiences as a teacher and editor provided him with keen insights into the evolving American identity, shaping the nuanced portrait presented in this novel. 'The Mettle of the Pasture' is a compelling read for those interested in the interplay between environment and personal growth. Readers will find Allen's exploration of resilience and introspection both thought-provoking and moving, making this a noteworthy addition to the shelves of any lover of American literature.

    Step into the opulent world of The Hotel Hamilton, where the chandelier sparkles while a maid’s aspirations fade into the woodwork. 
    Vancouver, Canada, 1927. A hotel maid’s duty is to never be seen. That’s no problem for Clara, who finds safety in her station. But for her sister, Louisa, it’s cold outside the limelight. 
    Clara is content being an obliging working girl, but she doesn’t feel worthy of the leadership responsibilities the hotel matron seems intent to thrust upon her. Torn between the unspoken limitations of her social standing and the demands of a fast-changing world, Clara is paralyzed by her fear of stepping out of line. 
    Louisa, an aspiring actress, is grateful for her employment at the prestigious hotel, but the feeling that she is meant for more haunts her as she sleepwalks through her days. Though Louisa’s ambitious nature yearns for a life in the theatre, she hasn’t auditioned in months. When she finally steps back into the spotlight, she brings her demons along with her, unable to forget what happened the last time she was on stage. 
    Already challenged with holding their family together, the sisters face the limits of their bond when prejudice and cruelty rear their dark heads. With Clara trapped in her comfortable cocoon and Louisa terrified of repeating the past, the sisters must learn from each other in order to stand against injustice and chart their own path through life.

    The first three novels in a sweeping American epic from the #1 New York Times–bestselling author who “makes history come alive” (Nelson DeMille). This multigenerational saga follows the Kent family and their pursuit of a foothold and future in the expanding United States. From the family’s initial journey traveling to America’s shore to their voyage to the Western frontier, their fate is intertwined with the course of American history in these first three volumes of the series.  The Bastard: Denied his birthright as the illegitimate son of the Duke of Kentland, Philippe Charboneau seeks a new life in London, where he meets Benjamin Franklin and reads the works of patriot firebrand Sam Adams. Inspired by such brave new ideas, he travels to the American colonies at the brink of the Revolution. There he will choose his own name—Philip Kent—and finally decide his own fate.  The Rebels: Philip Kent fights as a Continental soldier at the Battle of Bunker Hill. In a bold move, he has taken up arms for the future of his new family. Spirited and unwavering in his dedication to his adopted homeland, Philip fights in the most violent battles in America’s early history. But far from the front lines, another battle rages that will sweep his wife, Anne, on her own perilous journey that may destroy all Philip has fought for.  The Seekers: Returning from fighting valiantly on the frontier, Abraham Kent—son of Philip and Anne—returns to Boston, only to realize that he cannot abide the confines of civilization. Determined not to live in his father’s shadow, he takes his young bride and settles on the American frontier. But the life of a pioneer comes at a high price, and the cost of Abraham’s restless ambitions may be more than he can bear.
