Produktbeschreibung

In 'The Mob' by John Galsworthy, the author explores the intricate dynamics of a small English town besieged by an unruly mob. Galsworthy's novel straddles the line between drama and social commentary, painting a vivid picture of the chaos that ensues when the collective power of the people is unleashed. Written in Galsworthy's signature realist style, 'The Mob' delves into themes of power, class struggle, and the consequences of unchecked populism that are still relevant today. John Galsworthy, a Nobel Prize-winning author known for his social novels, was deeply influenced by the social and political upheavals of his time. His keen observation of society's undercurrents and his ability to capture the essence of human nature shine through in 'The Mob', making it a thought-provoking and engaging read for those interested in exploring the complexities of mob mentality. I highly recommend 'The Mob' to readers who enjoy literary works that delve into social issues with depth and insight. Galsworthy's deft handling of complex themes and his skillful storytelling make this novel a timeless exploration of the darker aspects of human nature and society.

Autorenporträt

English author and dramatist John Galsworthy OM (14 August 1867 - 31 January 1933) was born in England. A Modern Comedy, The Forsyte Saga (1906-1921), and End of the Chapter are notable works. He received the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1932. Galsworthy was born in Kingston Hill, Surrey, England, in what is now known as Galsworthy House (at the time, it was known as Parkhurst). His family had a sizable home in Kingston upon Thames and was well-established and rich. In 1893, while serving as the first mate on a sailing ship docked in Adelaide, Australia, he met Joseph Conrad. The two quickly become close. From the Four Winds, a collection of short stories, was John Galsworthy's first book to be published in 1897. His writings, especially The Forsyte Saga, a trilogy about the titular family and their interconnected lives, have made him more well-known in recent years. He underlines their arrogant, acquisitive attitudes and moral norms while yet being sympathetic to his characters. Galsworthy died on January 31, 1933, and following his passing, his ashes were dropped from an airplane over the South Downs. In addition to monuments in Highgate Cemetery and the cloisters of New College, Oxford, he was cremated at Woking.¿
