Produktbeschreibung

In "The Girl at the Halfway House," Emerson Hough crafts a poignant narrative that explores themes of resilience, identity, and the complexities of human relationships within the backdrop of America's expanding frontier in the late 19th century. Hough employs a rich, descriptive literary style characteristic of American realism, where the characters are deeply rooted in their environmental and social contexts. The story revolves around a group of diverse individuals who converge at a halfway house, drawing the reader into their intertwined lives and struggles, and ultimately revealing the profound impact of shared experiences on personal growth and redemption. Emerson Hough, an influential American author born in 1857, drew from his own experiences as a journalist and traveler. His work often reflects a profound appreciation for the American landscape and the human spirit. Known for his ability to capture the essence of the early American experience, Hough's passion for storytelling and depth of empathy for his characters shine through in this novel, which serves as a reflection of his broader concerns with societal progress and moral dilemmas. I wholeheartedly recommend "The Girl at the Halfway House" to readers who are not only seeking a gripping tale set against a vivid historical backdrop but also desire to engage with meaningful insights into the human condition. Hough's nuanced characterizations and masterful storytelling will resonate deeply, making this work a timeless addition to the canon of American literature.

Autorenporträt

The Young Alaskans On The Missouri by Emerson Hough The Young Alaskans By Emerson Hough The Young Alaskans follows the outdoor adventures of three Alaskan boys in a series of books initially published between 1908 and 1922. About The Author :- Emerson Hough (1857-1923) was an American author best known for writing western stories and historical novels. He married Charlotte Chesebro of Chicago in 1897 and made that city his home. During World War I, he served as a Captain with the Intelligence Service. He died in Evanston, Illinois, on April 30, 1923, a week after seeing the Chicago premiere of the movie The Covered Wagon, based on his 1922 book. Covered Wagon was his biggest best-selling novel since Mississippi Bubble in 1902. "North of 36", another Hough novel, later became a popular silent film as well, "making him one of the first Western authors to enter into the motion picture industry." He is buried in Galesburg, Illinois. Asked in 1918 to provide some details of his own life, he replied in the context of World War I: "This is no time for autobiography of men of letters. This is the day of biography for men who have been privileged to act in the great scenes of today. It is the time for boys of 23. At least we can bless them and back them the best we know. I will not tell about myself. It is of no consequence."
