Produktbeschreibung

John Sherman; and, Dhoya is a novel by W. B. Yeats. Yeats was an Irish poet, dramatist and writer. John Sherman is a young man who lives with his mother. They soon move to London only to see that life isn't easy in the city. Excerpt: "For several days there was a new heaven and a new earth. Miss Leland seemed suddenly impressed with the seriousness of life. She was gentleness itself; and as Sherman sat on Sunday mornings in his pocket-handkerchief of a garden under the one tree, with its smoky stem, watching the little circles of sunlight falling from the leaves like a shower of new sovereigns, he gazed at them with a longer and keener joy than heretofore-a new heaven and a new earth, surely! Sherman planted and dug and raked this pocket-handkerchief of a garden most diligently, rooting out the docks and dandelions and mouse-ear and the patches of untimely grass. It was the point of contact between his new life and the old. It was far too small and unfertile and shaded in to satisfy his love of gardener's experiments and early vegetables."

Autorenporträt

William Butler Yeats (1865-1939) was a prolific Irish poet, dramatist, and one of the foremost figures of 20th-century literature. A pillar of both the Irish and British literary establishments, he helped to found the Abbey Theatre and, in his later years, served as an Irish Senator. Yeats was born in Dublin, Ireland, and his writing was significantly influenced by the rich cultural history of his homeland and its Celtic mythology. Drawing also on themes of nationalism, Yeats' early work often reflected the preoccupations of the Irish Literary Revival, a movement he was deeply entwined with. In his prose work 'John Sherman; and, Dhoya,' Yeats delves into fictional realms that reveal his early development toward the symbolic and mythic. The collection, which comprises a novella and a mythic tale, showcases his versatility and foreshadows the mystical and esoteric leanings that would come to characterize his later poetry. His literary style evolved over his career, incorporating complex symbolism and deep-set themes of identity, spirituality, and search for meaning. Yeats was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1923, affirming his significance in the world of letters. His works are a testament to the breadth of his literary talent and the depth of his intellectual inquiry.
