Produktbeschreibung

Black Oxen is best-selling 1923 novel by Gertrude Atherton. When Madame Zatianny appears, seemingly from nowhere on the social scene, everyone is taken by her beauty. The older ones say she is the mirror image of Mary Ogden, who they had known 30 years before. Lee Clavering, a budding playwright (Conway Tearle), manages to meet Madame Zatianny and they fall very much in love. He proposes, and she confesses to be the same Mary Ogden of 30 years prior, her youth restored through a gland operation. But Prince Hohenhauer, an old admirer (Alan Hale), convinces her to leave Clavering by pointing out that she prefers power over love. So she returns to Europe to continue her relief work, while Clavering consoles himself with Janet Oglethorpe, a pretty young flapper (Clara Bow). Future superstar Bow really stood out in this supporting role -- she received great notices all around -- and not long after the film's release she would become a WAMPAS Baby Star, which helped promote her fledgling career.

Autorenporträt

During the whole literary journey, Gertrude Atherton wrote over 40 novels, several short stories and genuine essays ended up with a successful career. She was majorly known for her prolific contribution to literature during the late 19th century. Born in 1857, she grew up and brought up in San Francisco California in a wealthy and socially stable family. In both countries, the United States and Europe, she completed her education with a vivid understanding of a broad cultural base. She wrote epic genres including novels and short stories and essays. Wide predictions and explanations of diverse themes and styles helped her to become notable at a rapid pace. She often dived into the social and cultural norms of her time and staggered critiques of society. Atherton was well known for her collaboration and association with the greatest literary figures of her time which includes H.G Wells and Ambrose Bierce. However, her popularity slowed down during the 20th century and her interest in her work was acknowledged by her peers and most of her scholars appreciated her for her major contribution to American literature.
