Produktbeschreibung
In "The Breaking Point," Mary Roberts Rinehart masterfully weaves a narrative that intricately explores themes of existential dread and moral ambiguity against the backdrop of early 20th-century America. The novel unfolds through a riveting plot, characterized by Rinehart's hallmark blend of suspense and psychological complexity, inviting readers into the fraught lives of its characters as they confront their darkest fears and the societal expectations of their era. As a pioneer of the detective genre, Rinehart employs a keen attention to detail, capturing the zeitgeist of her time while simultaneously delving into the human psyche. Mary Roberts Rinehart (1876-1958) was an influential figure in American literature, often referred to as the "American Agatha Christie." Her experiences as a journalist and a playwright informed her writing, enabling her to craft narratives that resonate with authenticity and depth. Rinehart's ability to portray women's struggles in a patriarchal society reflects her own challenges and triumphs in a male-dominated literary landscape, making her work both relevant and relatable. Readers drawn to gripping narratives that challenge moral certainties will find "The Breaking Point" a compelling addition to the discourse on human frailty and resilience. Rinehart's eloquent storytelling and intricate character development will not only entertain but also provoke thought, making this a must-read for those interested in classic mystery and psychological drama.

Autorenporträt
American author Mary Roberts Rinehart, also known as the American Agatha Christie, was born on August 12, 1876, and died on September 22, 1958. The Circular Staircase, Rinehart's debut mystery novel, introduced the "had I but known" narrative approach. Although the exact phrase does not occur in Rinehart's book The Door (1930), she is regarded as the creator of the "the butler did it" story device. As one of the first women to visit the front lines in Belgium during World War I, she also worked to share the tales and experiences of these troops. Mary Roberts Rinehart, who is now known as Rinehart, was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania's Allegheny City. Her father was a frustrated inventor, and the family experienced frequent monetary issues throughout her youth. Mary was just 19 years old when her father committed suicide. She was trained to use her right hand because she was left-handed at a time when that was improper. She attended public schools, received her high school diploma at the age of 16, enrolled in the Pittsburgh Training School for Nurses at the Pittsburgh Homeopathic Hospital, and completed her training there in 1896.
