Produktbeschreibung

A Bride from the Bush by E. W. Hornung is a romantic fiction novel that explores the cultural clash between the rugged Australian outback and refined British society. Set in the 19th century, the story follows the journey of an Australian woman who marries into British high society, highlighting the contrasts between her rural upbringing and the expectations of her new urban life. Hornung skillfully uses social satire to examine class differences and the challenges of adapting to a different culture. The novel delves into themes of marriage, gender roles, and the tension between urban and rural values. Through sharp humor and wit, Hornung portrays the protagonist's struggles with the rigid norms of British society while remaining true to her roots. With rich character development and a keen eye for social dynamics, A Bride from the Bush offers a compelling narrative that reflects on the complexities of identity and adaptation in a world divided by class and geography.

Autorenporträt

Ernest William Hornung (1866 -1921) was a prolific English poet and novelist, famed for his A. J. Raffles series of novels about a gentleman thief in late 19th century London.

Hornung spent most of his life in England and France, but in 1883 he traveled to Australia where he lived for three years, his experiences there shaping many of his novels and short stories.

On returning to England he worked as a journalist, and also published many of his poems and short stories in newspapers and magazines. A few years after his return, he married Constance Aimée Doyle, sister of his friend Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, with whom he had a son.

During WWI he followed the troops in French trenches and later gave a detailed account of his encounters in Notes of a Camp-Follower on the Western Front.

Ernest Hornung died in 1921.
