Beschreibung

Mrs. Oliphant's "At His Gates" is a nuanced exploration of themes such as class, morality, and the complexities of human relationships set against the bustling backdrop of Victorian society. Written in her signature eloquent prose, the novel deftly navigates the intricate web of social conventions and challenges faced by its characters. Oliphant employs rich characterizations and vivid imagery, which collectively serve to dismantle the era's illusions about love and duty, reflecting the author's keen observations on the world around her. As a prominent figure in 19th-century literature, Mrs. Oliphant was deeply engaged with the shifting paradigms of her time, particularly regarding women's roles and social justice. Her personal experiences, including the dual struggles of motherhood and professional writing, informed her perspective on the societal constraints faced by her characters. This context imbues "At His Gates" with authenticity, as Oliphant's nuanced portrayal of her protagonists underscores the emotional and ethical dilemmas inherent in everyday life. Recommended to readers interested in historical fiction and social commentary, "At His Gates" offers a profound glimpse into the human condition, striking a balance between sensitivity and critical insight. This text not only unveils the trials of its characters but also invites readers to reflect on their own moral landscapes, making it a timeless contribution to the literary canon.

    The lost city lies beyond a locked gateway. But the key is not what it seems… 
    Now a map-maker extraordinaire, Finch must find the place Erebus so desperately seeks—although the “how” and “why” remain unclear. And a certain vengeful Necromancer is bent on beating Erebus to the punch, and he’d be more than happy to make Finch collateral damage. 
    With his friends’ lives on the line, Finch will fall back on his old trickster ways to get his hands on the gateway’s key. In secret, he plans to uncover a loophole, a way to end his servitude for good. The answer might lie in Erebus’s past servants and their storied history with the djinn... 
    The djinn have lost their connection to Erebus, and Raffe doesn’t know how much longer he can cope before his alter ego goes insane. That’s the only reason he agrees to travel halfway across the world to find answers for Finch. Raffe aches to end the djinn curse that threatens his future with Santana, but he’d have to achieve the impossible: separate himself from the demon within.
