Produktbeschreibung

Linda Condon is a novel written in 1919 by American author Joseph Hergesheimer, known for his lyrical style and detailed descriptions. The novel tells the story of Linda Condon, a young woman who lives a controlled and emotionally detached life, raised in a strict environment. Linda is a complex character who evolves throughout the narrative, grappling with issues of identity, love, and personal freedom. Hergesheimer explores themes of emotional isolation and the search for meaningful connections with others. The novel also highlights the contrast between Linda's outward appearance and her inner emotions, making it a work of psychological introspection, which was innovative for its time. The novel stands out for its attention to detail and the depth of the protagonist's character, offering an interesting example of psychological fiction in early 20th-century American literature. Joseph Hergesheimer (February 15, 1880 - April 25, 1954) was an American writer of the early 20th century known for his naturalistic novels of decadent life amongst the very wealthy.

Autorenporträt

Joseph Hergesheimer was an American author who lived from February 15, 1880, to April 25, 1954. He was best known for writing realistic stories about the hedonistic lives of the rich. It was February 15, 1880, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, that Hergesheimer was born. He went to a Quaker school for school and then graduated from the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. The Lay Anthony, Hergesheimer's first book, came out in 1914. The next book, Three Black Pennys, came out in 1917. It was a fictional account of the lives of three generations of Pennsylvania ironmasters. It established the author's way of writing about upper-class people using what he called "aestheticism," a style of flowery description. Three Black Pennies was also the first American book that Alfred A. Knopf, a new publishing house, put out. The books Java Head (1919), Linda Condon (1919), and Balisand (1924) by Hergesheimer also got good reviews.
