Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -Rejected of Men is Howard Pyle's searching modern parable of Christ's return to a complacent contemporary society. Transposing the Gospel drama into the moral climate of turn-of-the-century America, the novel examines how religious institutions, civic respectability, and commercial ambition might respond to a living embodiment of the truths they profess. Its prose is grave, lucid, and deliberately scriptural, blending realist social observation with allegorical force. In the context of Progressive Era anxieties and the Social Gospel movement, Pyle's narrative becomes both devotional meditation and cultural indictment. Howard Pyle, best known as one of America's great illustrators and as the author of romantic tales of chivalry, piracy, and legend, brought to this work a lifelong fascination with moral courage and spiritual testing. Raised in Delaware within a Quaker-influenced milieu, he often imagined heroism as an ethical condition rather than mere adventure. Rejected of Men channels that sensibility into a distinctly modern religious fiction. This book is recommended to readers interested in literary treatments of Christianity, American social criticism, and moral allegory. It rewards those willing to consider how easily reverence may become convention, and how unsettling true faith can appear when embodied in the present. N° de réf. du vendeur 9788028342449
