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 early twentieth-century American writer best known for his realism novels depicting decadent life among the wealthy. Hergesheimer was born February 15, 1880 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He attended a Quaker school and graduated from the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts. Hergesheimer released his debut novel, The Lay Anthony, in 1914. Three Black Pennies, published in 1917, detailed the imaginary lives of three generations of Pennsylvania ironmasters and established the author's approach of dealing with upperclass characters through a floridly descriptive manner known as "aestheticism." Hergesheimer's fame varied dramatically over his lifetime, from a high point of praise and popularity in the 1920s to near-total obscurity by the time he died. Java Head, a miscegenation story told from multiple perspectives that is widely regarded as his best novel, was a huge success, and his flamboyant, ornate, highly descriptive style (best seen in works such as the travelogue San Cristobal de la Habana) was praised for its elegance and power.
