Más información sobre el libro

Set in late-Victorian London, the narrative explores the lives of two contrasting writers: the idealistic novelist Edwin Reardon, who struggles with poverty due to his artistic integrity, and the cynical journalist Jasper Milvain, who thrives in a market-driven environment. As Reardon's commitment to high ideals leads to personal turmoil, including the collapse of his marriage, the intertwined fates of these two rivals reveal the harsh realities of artistic ambition and the sacrifices made for integrity versus commercial success.
