Produktbeschreibung
The Disowned Volume 2 by Baron Edward Bulwer-Lytton continues the story of Clarence Linden, a young man torn between his aristocratic heritage and his desire for freedom. In this second volume, Clarence navigates the complexities of society, self-discovery, and human nature, while confronting themes of vanity, ambition, and social expectation. The narrative opens with Clarence staying at Copperas Bower, the home of the eccentric Copperas family. The family members, particularly Mrs. Copperas and her humorous husband, provide a backdrop of comic domestic life, which Clarence observes with a mixture of distaste and amusement. Despite their antics, Clarence is also exposed to the more reflective, intellectual conversations with other characters like Mr. Talbot and the aspiring artist Warner. These relationships offer Clarence moments of introspection, as he contemplates love, ambition, and his place within society. As Clarence interacts with these varied characters, the novel delves into the influence of social environments on personal growth and identity. Struggling to form meaningful connections, Clarence begins to question where he belongs, torn between the conventionality of his noble background and the unconventional allure of the freedom he seeks. This volume explores the tension between societal obligations and the desire for self-determination, setting the stage for Clarence's evolving journey of personal growth and moral development.
