Produktbeschreibung

First published in 1912, "Your United States - Impressions of a First Visit" is an interesting account of the author's experiences when visiting the USA for the first in the early twentieth century. Enoch Arnold Bennett (1867-1931) was an English writer. Although he is perhaps best remembered for his popular novels, Bennett also produced work in other areas including the theatre, propaganda, journalism, and film. Contents include: "The First Night", "Streets", "The Capitol and Other Sites", "Some Organizations", "Transit and Hotels", "Sports and the Theatre", "Education and Art", and "Citizens". Offering a fascinating insight into American life at the turn of the twentieth century, this vintage book will appeal to those with an interest in American history and society, and it is not to be missed by fans and collectors of Bennet's influential work. Other notable works by this author include: "Helen with a High Hand" (1910), "The Card" (1911), and "Hilda Lessways" (1911). Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with an essay from F. J. Harvey Darton's 1915 book, "Arnold Bennett".

Autorenporträt

Enoch Arnold Bennett, better known as Arnold Bennett, was an English author and novelist who made important contributions to literature in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. He was born on May 27, 1867, in Hanley, Staffordshire. His father, a lawyer, wanted him to become a lawyer like him, but Bennett was more interested in writing. After working at a law office in London for a short period of time, he decided to pursue a career in literature full time, starting in 1900.Bennett produced a large amount of work during his lifetime. He wrote 34 novels, seven volumes of short stories, 13 plays, and a daily journal of over a million words. Apart from his novels and plays, he also wrote articles and stories for more than 100 newspapers and periodicals. This made him one of the most financially successful British authors of his time.Bennett's life was cut short when he got typhoid fever and passed away in 1931. He contracted it from drinking tap water during a trip to France. His death marked the end of a productive and influential writing career.
