Présentation de l'éditeur
London dull in August must be without resources of their own. They must be mere puppets worked by the social machinery, with no capacity for stepping outside their strictly conventional mode of life, or for seeing that mass of variety and opportunity for living which lies around them. The month of August to such as really loveL ondon is all too short. It passes like a dream a dream of rest and surcease from contact with those whose perpetual presence has become incapable of furnishing further surprise in the meal of life. To the true lover of London, it is the one month of the year. It breeds a new attitude of mind. The social derelict, whether he be in London of his own choice or from the inability to get away from it, seems to find in it a new city. In a sense, it is a question of mental suggestion, it is like going for a holiday. This may have something to do with the assumption of a straw hat and a blue serge suit, which in themselves constitute a distinct vacation.

Évaluation du vendeur 5 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book offers a captivating glimpse into the bustling world of Victorian London, transporting readers to the heart of a city teeming with life and secrets. The story unfolds during a sweltering August, a time when London's elite have escaped to the countryside, leaving behind a unique and vibrant energy in the city's underbelly. The author, a successful playwright, embarks on a leisurely stroll through the streets, his keen eye drawn to the raw beauty and potential of the ordinary people he encounters. His journey leads him to Little Deans Court, a slum-like enclave where he encounters a remarkable young girl named Jenny. Jenny possesses a rare combination of beauty, innocence and strength, a combination that captivates the author and ignites within him a desire to bring her unique talents to the stage. The author's quest to elevate Jenny from her humble beginnings, and her subsequent journey into the world of Victorian theater, raises questions about class, opportunity, and the power of individual potential against the backdrop of a society grappling with the complexities of social mobility and artistic expression. This story offers a powerful exploration of these themes, showcasing the enduring allure of London as a backdrop for transformative human stories.
