Synopsis
Excerpt from Sonia, Between Two Worlds
If, therefore, this book ever find favour in the eyes for which it was written, it will be because I have set narrow limits to my task and confined myself resolutely to those limits. For thirty years I have lived among what the world has agreed loosely to call the Governing Classes. The title may already be Obsolescent sentence of proscription may, as I write, have been passed on those who bear it. At the lowest computation those classes will Soon have changed beyond recognition in personnel, function, power and philosophy. This book may then perhaps have something of historical value in portraying a group of men and women who were at the same time my personal friends and representative of those Governing Classes in politics, journalism, commerce and society. I have drawn them as I saw them, without attempting to select or label pre dominant types. And if there be blank spaces on my canvas, it is to be remembered that I only set out to paint that social group with which I happened to be brought in contact.

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book takes us back to the early 1900s, to the hallowed halls of Melton, a prestigious English public school. The author, a former student himself, recounts his experiences amidst the privileged and often eccentric "Governing Classes" of his day. The book delves into the complex world of public school life, with its rigid social hierarchy, the unspoken codes of conduct, and the rituals of a bygone era. Through the eyes of the author, we witness the clash between tradition and modernity, as the arrival of a rebellious American student, David ORane, challenges the established order. ORane's presence throws into sharp relief the contrasting values and expectations that defined this period in English society, exposing the deep-seated tensions between the old world and the new. The book explores themes of class, cultural difference, and the struggle for identity, offering a fascinating glimpse into a world both familiar and foreign, ultimately revealing the enduring power of personal experience and the subtle, often overlooked nuances of a bygone age. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
