Items related to Whirlpool (Everyman Paperback Classics)
Harvey Rolfe's modest inheritance allows him to live quietly on the edge of London's social and commercial circuits; but soon bankruptcy and suicide bring the tumult, and Alma Frothingham, to his door. Their desire for a simple life does not remain mutual for long. Self-deception gradually poisons their marriage; Alma's dream of success as a professional violinist draws her into a confusion of blackmail and powerful sexual jealousy, as Harvey falls into the whirlpool of decadence and materiality he strove to avoid.

From the Publisher:
Founded in 1906 by J.M. Dent, the Everyman Library has always tried to make the best books ever written available to the greatest number of people at the lowest possible price. Unique editorial features that help Everyman Paperback Classics stand out from the crowd include: a leading scholar or literary critic's introduction to the text, a biography of the author, a chronology of her or his life and times, a historical selection of criticism, and a concise plot summary. All books published since 1993 have also been completely restyled: all type has been reset, to offer a clarity and ease of reading unique among editions of the classics; a vibrant, full-color cover design now complements these great texts with beautiful contemporary works of art. But the best feature must be Everyman's uniquely low price. Each Everyman title offers these extensive materials at a price that competes with the most inexpensive editions on the market-but Everyman Paperbacks have durable binding, quality paper, and the highest editorial and scholarly standards.
About the Author:
George Gissing (1857-1903) wrote a series of startling novels principally set in London, including New Grub Street, The Whirlpool, The Nether World and The Odd Women. He lived a chaotic, often poverty-striken life from which he frequently drew for his fiction. He is generally viewed as the greatest English realist novelist. He was a friend and contemporary of Joseph Conrad, H.G. Wells and Henry James.
