Produktinformationen zu „The Whirlpool (ePub)“

George Gissing's novel, 'The Whirlpool,' explores the complexities of social class and dynamics in late 19th-century England. Written in a realist style, the book delves into themes of morality, ambition, and the struggle for upward mobility. Gissing's sharp characterizations and detailed descriptions provide a vivid portrayal of the societal pressures and constraints faced by individuals striving for success in a rigidly stratified society. The narrative is rich in psychological depth and social commentary, making it a compelling read for those interested in Victorian literature. 'The Whirlpool' stands out as a poignant critique of the period's class system and the challenges it presents to personal fulfillment and happiness. George Gissing, known for his keen observations of society and human nature, drew from his own experiences of poverty and hardship to craft a narrative that resonates with authenticity and insight. His personal struggles and perseverance undoubtedly influenced the themes and characters he brought to life in this thought-provoking novel. I highly recommend 'The Whirlpool' to readers seeking a nuanced exploration of class, ambition, and societal expectations in Victorian England.

Autoren-Porträt von George Gissing

George Gissing, an English novelist renowned for his realistic portrayal of the lower middle class, was born on November 22, 1857, in Wakefield, Yorkshire, and died on December 28, 1903, in Saint-Jean-de-Luz, France. His insights and narrative style are marked by a keen observation of Victorian society, often highlighting the struggles and moral dilemmas faced by individuals of his time. 'The Whirlpool' (1897), one of his notable works, exemplifies his literary craftsmanship, delving into the complexities of human relationships and the relentless pressures of social expectations. Gissing's writing is characterized by its clear, unsentimental style, though he often imbued his narratives with a sense of compassion for his characters and a critical eye for the social disparities of his era. In addition to 'The Whirlpool,' Gissing authored numerous books that solidified his reputation, including 'New Grub Street' (1891), a piercing examination of the literary world, and 'The Odd Women' (1893), which tackled the issue of women's roles and rights in society. A prolific writer, his work continues to be studied for its realistic portrayal of the fin de siècle England and the human condition.
