Produktbeschreibung
Set in the fictional Five Towns of Staffordshire, England, Clayhanger is the first installment of Arnold Bennett's Clayhanger Family trilogy (Clayhanger, Hilda Lessways, and These Twain). First published in 1910, this novel charts the journey of Edwin Clayhanger from a young man, burdened by the weight of familial duties, with architectural aspirations to the reluctant head of his father's printing and stationery business. Through the evolving stages of Edwin's life-his vocation, love, search for freedom, and establishment in life-Bennett crafts a compelling narrative of personal ambition, romantic entanglements, and the quest for individual autonomy against the backdrop of societal expectations. A century after its first publication, Clayhanger continues to be a pertinent exploration of the friction between one's own desires and the weight of familial expectations, resonating with modern readers as they navigate the intricate dynamics of self-identity and social roles.

Autorenporträt
Enoch Arnold Bennett, better known as Arnold Bennett, was an English author and novelist who made important contributions to literature in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. He was born on May 27, 1867, in Hanley, Staffordshire. His father, a lawyer, wanted him to become a lawyer like him, but Bennett was more interested in writing. After working at a law office in London for a short period of time, he decided to pursue a career in literature full time, starting in 1900. Bennett produced a large amount of work during his lifetime. He wrote 34 novels, seven volumes of short stories, 13 plays, and a daily journal of over a million words. Apart from his novels and plays, he also wrote articles and stories for more than 100 newspapers and periodicals. This made him one of the most financially successful British authors of his time. Bennett's life was cut short when he got typhoid fever and passed away in 1931. He contracted it from drinking tap water during a trip to France. His death marked the end of a productive and influential writing career.
