Produktinformationen zu „The Woman of Knockaloe (ePub)“
In 'The Woman of Knockaloe,' Hall Caine masterfully transports readers to the windswept landscapes and stirring emotional terrain of the Isle of Man during the tumultuous period of the First World War. Through prose that is both lucid and richly metaphorical, Caine draws us into the life of Mona Craine-a character remarkable for her complex rendering. As Mona maneuvers the trials of her existence, marked by her brother's conscription and the intrusion of an internment camp for enemy aliens on her land, the narrative explores themes of love, xenophobia, and the reconciliation of personal beliefs within the crucible of wartime animosities. The book not only captures the era's historical context but also embodies the enduring human struggle against prejudice and fear. With its immersive setting and character depth, Caine's work is a poignant reflection on the human condition set against the relentless tides of history.
Hall Caine, born in 1853, was a contemporary of renowned literary figures such as Thomas Hardy and Bram Stoker. His own life, steeped in the cultural milieus of Liverpool and the Isle of Man, heavily informed his writing. Likely influenced by the reactionary zeitgeist of his time-especially in response to international conflicts-Caine explores with sensitivity the intersection of personal lives and global events in 'The Woman of Knockaloe.' His previous successes with novels like 'The Manxman' showcased his ability to etch deeply human stories into specific geographical tapestries, and here, he extends this talent to dissect the inner conflicts of identity and humanity amidst war.
'The Woman of Knockaloe' is a profound and moving must-read for enthusiasts of historical fiction and for those seeking to grapple with the moral complexities in times of societal upheaval. Recommended for lovers of classic literature, this book will especially resonate with readers interested in the human stories behind the grand narratives of history. Caine's work, transcending the mere retelling of an era, offers a powerful and enduring commentary on compassion and the ability of love to triumph over entrenched divisions.

Autoren-Porträt von Hall Caine
Sir Thomas Henry Hall Caine, commonly known as Hall Caine (14 May 1853 - 31 August 1931), was a British novelist, playwright, and short story writer acclaimed for his romantic prose and popularity in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Born in Runcorn, Cheshire, Hall Caine moved to Liverpool, where he initiated a career in writing. His literary career was profoundly influenced by his friendship with Dante Gabriel Rossetti, which imbued his work with a distinctive aestheticism. Drawing inspiration from the Isle of Man, where he ultimately settled, Hall Caine's narratives often wove intricate emotional and moral conflicts, reflecting his deep interest in the turmoil of human experience. His novel 'The Woman of Knockaloe' (1923) is a poignant exploration of wartime struggles and their impact on personal lives. Considered less popular than some of his earlier works such as 'The Manxman' and 'The Deemster', 'The Woman of Knockaloe' nonetheless offers a sophisticated critique of human suffering and resilience. Written with a fervor that echoes the Romantic tradition, Hall Caine's books are marked by a melodramatic intensity that adeptly resonates with the universal quest for love and redemption. His influence declined after World War I, yet he remains a significant figure in turn-of-the-century English literature, with his works being seminal in bridging the gap between Victorian literature and early modernism.
