Father and Son

Más información sobre el libro

Exploring the complex relationship between a father and son, this memoir delves into Edmund Gosse's upbringing in a strict Plymouth Brethren household. His father, Philip Henry Gosse, a notable zoologist, grapples with emerging evolutionary theories, while Edmund gradually distances himself from both his father's beliefs and the rigid fundamentalism of their home. The narrative captures the emotional and intellectual struggles that define their interactions and the shifting perspectives on faith and science.
