Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - 'Earlham' is an evocative and lyrical memoir that captures the essence of a vanished era through the vivid lens of childhood memory. Percy Lubbock meticulously reconstructs the atmosphere of his summer holidays at Earlham Hall, a grand manor in Norfolk and home to the influential Gurney family. The work transcends simple autobiography, serving instead as a profound meditation on the relationship between person and place. Lubbock employs a painterly prose style to describe the architectural details of the house, the lush beauty of its gardens, and the distinctive personalities of the relatives who inhabited its rooms. Focusing on the quiet rhythms of Victorian and Edwardian life, 'Earlham' explores themes of nostalgia, continuity, and the sensory impressions that define our understanding of the past. The narrative invites readers to experience the stillness of the library, the warmth of the sun on old brick, and the spiritual heritage of a family rooted in Quaker traditions. As a masterpiece of English descriptive writing, 'Earlham' remains an essential text for those interested in the social history of the English country house and the art of the literary memoir. It is a timeless tribute to the enduring power of home and the echoes of history found within its walls.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
