Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book recounts the adventures of Harkaway and Biddleson, two friends enthusiastic about automobiles at a time when they were a novel acquisition, even a marvel. The setting is an enticing mix of the longstanding traditions of a charming and close-knit seaside community and the dawning era of mechanisation. The tensions between the desire to move with the times and the wish to preserve local customs and character, as well as the changes in gender roles and social structures that result from technological innovation, are all astutely observed by the author and play out in entertaining and illuminating ways through the characters and their interactions. This book is not just the story of a newfangled machine, but a reflection of the values of an age and a deft examination of the road from tradition to modernity and the unexpected junctions along the way. 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 9781331420408_0
