Sinossi

In "His Little World," Samuel Merwin crafts a poignant narrative that delves into the intricacies of human relationships and the fragile balance between personal aspirations and societal expectations. Set against the backdrop of early 20th-century America, the novel employs an evocative and lyrical literary style, illuminating the inner lives of its characters through rich descriptions and introspective dialogues. Merwin's exploration of themes such as love, loss, and the integrity of individual identity within communal structures resonates powerfully within the context of the period's burgeoning modernist movement, marking a significant contribution to American literature. Merwin, a prominent figure in early 20th-century literature, had a varied career as a playwright, novelist, and journalist. His experiences as a war correspondent and his keen observations of societal dynamics deeply inform his literary voice. Merwin's commitment to capturing the nuances of everyday existence and the psychological turmoil of his characters speaks to his understanding of the human condition and the external pressures that shape it, making "His Little World" a reflective examination of self in a constraining world. This book is highly recommended for readers drawn to character-driven narratives that explore the complexities of life and relationships. Merwin's deft storytelling and nuanced prose invite the reader to engage with the trials and triumphs of his characters, making it not just a story, but a compelling invitation to reflect on one's own 'little world.'

    I was there the day the wall fell from the sky. The day they gunned down my mother and permanently separated the rich from the poor. I was there the day my father decided he could force utopia on a certain half of the population and leave the rest to rot. 
     
     
     
    Pragmapax was once a great city, the only remaining outpost of civilization in our part of the world. But now, divided by an impossible wall, we've become two cities. Two peoples that despise each other. Two different ways of life—one idyllic and peaceful, the other savage and lawless. Civil war seethes in the air, breathing down our necks. 
     
     
     
    The only thing I know is that if war finally breaks out, I'm trapped on the wrong side of the wall. 
     
     
     
    Contains mature themes.
