Produktbeschreibung

Excerpt: "Pain. Pain. Pain. The primal curse, the dominant tragedy of life. Who among you, dear friends, but has felt it? You men, slowly torn upon the rack of rheumatism; you women, with the hidden agony gnawing at your breast" (his roving regard was swift, like a hawk, to mark down the sudden, involuntary quiver of a faded slattern under one of the torches); "all you who have known burning nights and pallid mornings, I offer you r-r-r-release!"

Autorenporträt

Samuel Hopkins Adams was an American author and journalist known for his contributions to literature in the early 20th century. Born in 1871, he wrote novels, short stories, and essays, often blending social commentary with engaging narratives. Adams is perhaps best remembered for his satirical works that critique consumer culture and the advertising industry, with ""The Unspeakable Perk"" being one of his notable novels. His writing often explored themes of morality, integrity, and the complexities of human relationships against the backdrop of a rapidly changing society. In addition to fiction, Adams was a prolific journalist, writing for several prominent publications and focusing on issues such as public health and social justice. His investigative work contributed to significant reforms, including the regulation of patent medicines. Adams' legacy is marked by his keen observations of American life and his ability to weave fiction, biography, and exposé into his narratives, making his work relevant even today.
