Synopsis
A sharp, witty Victorian tale set in a quiet English country home. Follow a young man as he travels to stay with his uncle and encounters a strong-willed cousin, dry social satire, and a world where appearances and manners matter as much as fortune and rank.
This edition plunges you into the narrator’s observations of provincial life, contrasting city pretensions with country habit and the awkward rhythms of genteel society. From conversations on books and behavior to comic misadventures around music, hunting, and drawing rooms, the book frames class, marriage, and ambition with humor and a keen eye for detail. The tone blends nostalgia with a sly critique of the era’s social codes, inviting readers to judge the characters—and perhaps themselves—along the way.
- Witty narration of family dynamics and polite bustle in a country house.
- Entertaining debates on society, wealth, and the limits of “proper” conduct.
- Vivid scenes of social visits, music making, and the subtle power plays of guests and hosts.
- A portrait of a narrator navigating pride, attraction, and changing expectations.
Ideal for readers who enjoy preserved manners, sly social commentary, and early-19th-century sensibilities wrapped in accessible storytelling of this edition.

Évaluation du vendeur 5 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book begins with an overly formal introduction of an unnamed uncle to an unnamed nephew, hinting at familial drama and a past feud. It is only once the nephew is in his uncle's home that the introduction shifts to more informal language, indicative of a shift in the power dynamics now that the nephew is in his uncle's territory. This is a central theme that runs throughout the book: the struggle for social and economic independence, not just within personal relationships, but within the broader context of Victorian society and law. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781330620311_0
