Produktbeschreibung

In Maurice Baring's novel 'Passing By,' readers are introduced to a rich tapestry of human experiences, wherein fleeting encounters illuminate the profundities of existence. Baring's literary style, characterized by its lyrical prose and deep psychological insight, captures the ephemeral yet impactful moments that define our lives. Set against the backdrop of early 20th-century Europe, the narrative transcends time and place, invoking a sense of nostalgia while addressing the complexities of personal and interpersonal relationships, which resonate with contemporary readers. Maurice Baring, a British author, poet, and translator, was profoundly influenced by his travels and the diverse cultures he encountered. Raised in a well-to-do family, his experiences in Russia and Eastern Europe imbued him with a unique perspective on the human condition, and it is these sensibilities that inform the poignant character studies and thematic explorations in 'Passing By.' His affinity for blending reality with introspection speaks to his broader literary ambitions and his commitment to exploring the intricate threads that connect humanity.

Its evocative narrative will leave readers contemplating their own moments of serendipity, inviting them to reflect on the meaningful encounters that shape their journeys. I highly recommend this book for anyone interested in a profound exploration of life's fleeting yet significant moments.

Autorenporträt

Maurice Baring OBE was an English man of letters who worked as a dramatist, poet, novelist, translator, and essayist, as well as a travel writer and war correspondent with a focus on Russia. During World War I, Baring worked for the Intelligence Corps and the Royal Air Force. Baring was the eighth child and fifth son of Edward Charles Baring, first Baron Revelstoke, of the Baring banking dynasty, and his wife Louisa Emily Charlotte Bulteel, second Earl Grey's granddaughter. Born in Mayfair, he attended Eton College and Trinity College, Cambridge. After a failed diplomatic career, he traveled extensively, mainly in Russia, where he lived in 1905-2006. At the outbreak of World War I, he joined the Royal Flying Corps and worked as an assistant to David Henderson and Hugh Trenchard in France. Throughout the war, he wrote with Lady Juliet Duff, the widow of Sir Robin Duff, 2nd Baronet of Vaynol, who was killed on October 16, 1914, near Oostnieuwekirke while fighting in the 2nd Life Guards. The letters were ultimately published under the title Dear Animated Bust: Letters to Lady Juliet Duff.
