Produktinformationen zu „The Touch of Abner (ePub)“
In 'The Touch of Abner', H. A. Cody conjures the rustic ambiance of rural living through the exploits of Abner Andrews, a mercurial old farmer entangled in a spurious pledge. Cody employs a narrative style enriched with comedic elements, crafting a tale that sparkles with wit and the humorous paradoxes of human nature. Set against the backdrop of early 20th-century agrarian society, the novel deftly explores the idiosyncrasies of community life and the chaos that ensues when well-intentioned falsehoods snowball. Abner's unique brand of mischief - from telling tall tales to deliberately misinterpreting conversations - adds a layer of levity to the unfolding drama of his impossible promise.
H. A. Cody, an author known for his vivid portrayals of life in eastern Canada, weaves authenticity into 'The Touch of Abner' through intimate knowledge of the land and its people. Cody's own experiences and observations of the era spill into his writing, infusing the novel with a sense of place that is both palpable and persuasive. This, coupled with his insightful commentary on human folly, makes Abner's journey to rectify his hollow vow not just a quest for redemption, but also a reflection on integrity and the human spirit.
A delightful read for those captivated by pastoral settings and character-driven narratives, 'The Touch of Abner' will especially appeal to fans of regional fiction and comedic drama. The book's gentle satire and endearing cast provide a charming escape while also inviting contemplation on the consequences of our actions. Cody's tale is recommended for its timeless humor and the universal truths woven into the simple but profound story of a man, a promise, and the touch of misadventure that brings a community together.

Autoren-Porträt von H. A. Cody
Rev. Hiram Alfred Cody (1872-1948) was a Canadian clergyman and writer, whose literary career blossomed in the early 20th century. Born in Codys, New Brunswick, Cody was not only a prolific novelist but also an active Anglican minister. With a keen understanding of human nature and a compelling writing style that imbued his work with a sense of adventure and piety, Cody successfully merged his vocational insights with his storytelling. 'The Touch of Abner', while perhaps not as well-known as some of his other works such as 'The Frontiersman: A Tale of the Yukon', showcases Cody's characteristic blend of rugged landscapes and moral fortitude. His novels often reflect themes of nature's grandeur, the virtues of the human spirit, and the perennial conflict between good and evil. Cody's narratives were informed by his pastoral experiences, lending a depth of authenticity to the character development and the moral messages in his tales. His works, popular in their time for their clear prose and engaging plots, offer a window into the values and sentiments of his era, and thus hold a place in the Canadian literary canon. Despite the ebb in popular reading of his literature posthumously, Cody's contributions to early Canadian fiction and the adventure genre continue to be recognized by scholars and remain of interest to those studying the cultural fabric of early 20th-century Canada.
