Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book, published at the close of the Victorian era, analyses and comments on the stark realities of the time. Set against the tale of a working-class girl whose fortunes change due to an inheritance, the author delves into the various ways in which poverty and destitution can ravage a life, and how individuals are forced to become hardened in order to survive. The story is interwoven with insights on the role of wealth, morality, and the great divide between the idle rich and the struggling poor. It examines whether the welfare system, and the charitable efforts of the well-to-do, truly delivers what it promises as the gulf of inequality widens. Ultimately, the book cautions that any society which allows such disparities to proliferate is a breeding ground for social unrest. It challenges us to dismantle the conditions that enslave countless people in order to build a just and equitable world.

XII, 392 pages. Red original cloth binding. (Used) 20x14 cm * George Robert Gissing (* 22. November 1857 in Wakefield, Yorkshire; 28. Dezember 1903 in Ispoure, Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port, Südfrankreich) war ein englischer Schriftsteller. Mit George Orwell gesprochen, war er ein Chronist der Vulgarität, des Elends und des Versagens. Den Glauben an die moralische Widerstandskraft der Lohn- oder Zeilengeldsklaven wie auch ihrer Führer hatte er früh verloren. Die Kritik zählt ihn zu den bedeutendsten englischsprachigen Erzählern des Übergangs vom Realismus zum Naturalismus. Für Valentine Cunningham ist er Englands Zola. Der lungenkranke pessimistische Schilderer des Londoner Proletariats starb schon mit 46 Jahren. (Quelle Wikipedia) Sprache: Deutsch Gewicht in Gramm: 700. Seller Inventory # 137568
