Clayhanger (Unabridged)
Dans l'Angleterre industrielle de la fin du XIXe siècle, Edwin Clayhanger rêve d’architecture mais se voit contraint de reprendre l’imprimerie familiale sous la coupe d’un père despotique.
This ebook is a series of novels by Arnold Bennett, published between 1910 and 1918. Though the series is commonly referred to as a "trilogy", it actually consists of four books; the first three novels were released in one single volume as The Clayhanger Family in 1925.
Edwin Clayhanger is the central figure in this portrayal of Victorian lower-middle-class society. As a shy young man, Edwin is bullied by his father, Darius, but he succeeds in developing his interests in spite of a restrictive environment. One of Edwin's interests is Hilda Lessways, a young woman from Staffordshire. Hilda proves to be independent and enigmatic, while Edwin proves that there are many ways to view love.
