Francis Brett Young Libros
Francis Brett Young exploró temas como la tradición frente a la modernidad, el peso del pasado en el presente y la búsqueda de identidad en un mundo cambiante. Su escritura se caracteriza por un fuerte sentido del lugar y la atmósfera, a menudo ambientada en el campo inglés o en lugares exóticos. Young entrelazó magistralmente el desarrollo de los personajes con corrientes sociales e históricas más amplias. Sus novelas, apreciadas por su prosa detallada y profundidad emocional, ofrecen a los lectores una profunda visión de la condición humana.
Francis Brett Young's new novel has a wider scope than any he has hitherto written. It's setting covers not only the Shires and Welsh marshes, but also Mayfair and Bloomsbury, and as an incident the theatre of war in German East Africa. It's characters (there are no less than ninety four recognizable dramatis personae) range from "country" magistrates to men of letters and the humbler citizens of a back street in London. Against this background, the central figure Jim Redlake proceeds from adolescence to maturity as a type of normal English youth and manhood.
