Produktinformationen zu „Plantation Trilogy / Plantation Trilogy (ePub)“
A saga of Louisiana by an author who "belongs among those Southern novelists who are trying to interpret the South and its past in critical terms" (The New York Times).
Published in the late 1930s by New York Times-bestselling author Gwen Bristow, the Plantation Trilogy is an epic series of novels that bring to life the history of Louisiana-from its settlement in the late eighteenth century to the realities of slavery and poverty to the post-World War I era-via the intertwined lives of the members of three families: the Sheramys, the Larnes, and the Upjohns.
Deep Summer is the story of Puritan pioneer Judith Sheramy and adventurer Philip Larne, who marry and strive to build an empire in the Louisiana wilderness during the American Revolution.
The Handsome Road tells the story of plantation mistress Ann Sheramy Larne and poor seamstress Corrie May Upjohn, who forge an unlikely bond of friendship as they struggle to survive the cataclysms of the Civil War and Reconstruction.
This Side of Glory presents the story of Eleanor Upjohn, a modern young woman in the early twentieth century who marries charming Kester Larne and struggles to save the debt-ridden plantation that her husband's ancestors founded more than one hundred years ago.

Autoren-Porträt von Gwen Bristow
Gwen Bristow (1903-1980), the author of seven bestselling historical novels that bring to life momentous events in American history, such as the siege of Charleston during the American Revolution (Celia Garth) and the great California gold rush (Calico Palace), was born in South Carolina, where the Bristow family had settled in the seventeenth century. After graduating from Judson College in Alabama and attending the Columbia School of Journalism, Bristow worked as a reporter for New Orleans' Times-Picayune from 1925 to 1934. Through her husband, screenwriter Bruce Manning, she developed an interest in longer forms of writing-novels and screenplays.After Bristow moved to Hollywood, her literary career took off with the publication of Deep Summer, the first novel in a trilogy of Louisiana-set historical novels, which also includes The Handsome Road and This Side of Glory. Bristow continued to write about the American South and explored the settling of the American West in her bestselling novels Jubilee Trail, which was made into a film in 1954, and in her only work of nonfiction, Golden Dreams. Her novel Tomorrow Is Forever also became a film, starring Claudette Colbert, Orson Welles, and Natalie Wood, in 1946.

Pressezitat
“A tremendously vital and exciting story of the founding of a colonial dynasty.” —The New York Times on Deep Summer“[The Handsome Road is] very rich, very fully and carefully detailed . . . Miss Bristow belongs among those Southern novelists who are trying to interpret the South and its past in critical terms. It may be that historians will alter some of the details of her picture. But no doubt life in a small river town in Louisiana during the years 1859–1885 was like the life revealed in The Handsome Road.” —The New York Times
“Bristow has the true gift of storytelling.” —Chicago Tribune
