Mary Eleanor Wilkins Freeman was an American author. Freeman was born on October 31, 1852, in Randolph, Massachusetts, to Eleanor Lothrop and Warren Edward Wilkins, who christened her Mary Ella. Freeman's parents were conservative Congregationalists, and he grew up under severe supervision. Religious limitations play an important role in some of her works. She eventually completed her schooling at Glenwood Seminary in West Brattleboro. Freeman's father died unexpectedly in 1883, leaving her with no close family and an estate of barely $973. Florence Morse Kingsley (1859-1937) was a notable American author, best known for her contributions to Christian and historical fiction. Born in New England, Kingsley's literary career was marked by a deep commitment to exploring religious themes and historical narratives through her writing. Her works often focused on faith, moral development, and the challenges faced by early Christians, reflecting her own devout Christian beliefs. Her legacy endures through her impactful storytelling and dedication to illustrating the power of faith and resilience in historical and fictional contexts.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - An alabaster box examines how individual transformation intersects with communal expectations in a tightly knit village governed by unspoken rules. The novel reveals how personal ambition must often be masked as piety, especially when institutional roles demand moral restraint and emotional suppression. Beneath the surface of polite society, subtle tensions emerge between tradition and change, casting doubt on motives that deviate from established norms. Acts of kindness are dissected for hidden agendas, and any disruption to social order is treated with suspicion. The presence of a stranger becomes the catalyst for self-reflection and unease, as the townspeople grapple with their own insecurities while projecting judgment onto others. The story highlights the fragility of public trust, the performance of virtue, and the struggle to maintain dignity in a community where conformity outweighs honesty. In this atmosphere, emotional truths are stifled, and generosity is seen less as grace and more as a challenge to authority. The result is a study in power, isolation, and the elusive nature of sincerity. N° de réf. du vendeur 9789373403892
