Produktbeschreibung
In 'Cape of Storms', Percival Pollard crafts a profound narrative that eloquently captures the complexities of human emotion against the backdrop of the turbulent seas surrounding the Cape of Good Hope. Through rich, evocative prose, Pollard conjures vivid imagery that mirrors the tumult of the characters' internal struggles, while the interplay of dialogue and reflective exposition invites readers to ponder themes of existential uncertainty and the relentless passage of time. The novel sits at a unique intersection of modernism and romanticism, drawing on the natural world's majestic yet perilous aspects to deepen the exploration of its characters' lives. Percival Pollard, a noted literary figure of the early 20th century, was deeply influenced by his own travels and experiences in Southern Africa, which informed the vivid settings and emotional landscapes in 'Cape of Storms'. His keen observations of colonial life and the intertwining of cultures in this region spearhead the narrative, revealing Pollard's deep empathy for his characters and a powerful commentary on the social dynamics of his time. This book is highly recommended for readers who appreciate literature that deftly intertwines the personal with the universal. 'Cape of Storms' is a masterclass in character development and thematic depth, inviting readers to navigate through the stormy seas of human psyche and resilience, making it essential for any literary collection.

Autorenporträt
Joseph Percival Pollard was an American literary critic, novelist, and short story writer. Born in Greifswald, Pomerania, to English and German parents, he attended Eastbourne College in Sussex, England. His family immigrated to the United States in 1885. After growing up in Iowa, he spent much of his life traveling between London, Paris, and New York. His most famous work was Their Day in Court, a 1909 book of literary and cultural commentary. His works reveal his rejection of naturalism and disdain for popular commercial tastes, instead championing aestheticism and literary impressionism. Other works include Dreams of Today (1907), a book of decadent 'weird tales' in the vein of Chambers' The King in Yellow, the critical study Masks and Minstrels of New Germany (1911), the novels The Imitator (1901) and Lingo Dan (1903), and a play written in collaboration with Leo Ditrichstein, The Ambitious Mrs. Alcott, which opened and closed on Broadway after 24 performances in 1907. Pollard, 42, died unexpectedly of "brain neuritis" in Baltimore in 1911, ending a promising career. Mencken and Bierce attended the funeral. His cremated remains were sent to Iowa.
