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.

Autorenporträt
Edward Bulwer-Lytton (1803-1873) was a prominent English novelist, poet, playwright, and politician, best known for his contributions to Victorian literature. His works often explored themes of social justice, romance, mystery, and the supernatural. He was one of the most widely read and influential authors of his time, and his works were popular across both literary and social circles. Bulwer-Lytton is perhaps most famous for his novels The Last Days of Pompeii (1834), Eugene Aram (1832), and The Disowned (1829), among others. He is also credited with popularizing certain literary tropes, such as the Gothic novel, through works like Zanoni (1842), which combined mysticism and philosophical themes. One of Bulwer-Lytton's most famous phrases, ""It was a dark and stormy night,"" has become iconic, often cited for its melodramatic style. In addition to his literary success, Bulwer-Lytton had a significant political career, serving as a Member of Parliament and as a Secretary of State for the Colonies.
