Synopsis
"Beyond the City" by Arthur Conan Doyle explores the intricacies of suburban life and the evolving roles of women in society during the late 19th century. The narrative unfolds in a newly developed suburban area where three families become neighbors: the Williams sisters, Admiral Hay Denver and his family, and the progressive Mrs. Westmacott with her nephew Charles. The Williams sisters, Bertha and Monica, are traditional and cautious, observing their new neighbors with a mix of curiosity and apprehension. Admiral Denver, a retired naval officer, and his family represent the conventional values of the time, while Mrs. Westmacott challenges these norms with her advocacy for women's rights and her unconventional lifestyle. The interactions among these families highlight the tension between traditional values and the emerging new social order. Mrs. Westmacott's efforts to promote gender equality and her influence on the community, particularly on the younger generation, serve as a catalyst for change. The novel delves into themes of gender roles, societal expectations, and the progression of modernity on personal relationships. Through the lens of these suburban families, Doyle examines the broader societal shifts occurring in England, offering a microcosm of the challenges and opportunities presented by social progress.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -'Beyond the City' is a novel that tells the story of a young woman named Edie Martyn, who is unhappy with her life in a quiet, rural town. She longs for excitement and adventure and feels trapped by the limitations of her surroundings.When a charismatic and mysterious stranger, Harry Pinner, arrives in town, he offers Edie a chance to escape her mundane life. He persuades her to leave everything behind, including her husband, and embark on a journey to London, where he promises a more exhilarating and prosperous life.However, as Edie and Pinner begin their new life in the bustling city, Edie gradually becomes aware of Pinner's true nature and the risks she has taken. The story unfolds as Edie grapples with her predicament, the choices she has made, and her desire for a better future.'Beyond the City' is not a detective story like many of Conan Doyle's other works, but rather a novel that explores themes of love, temptation, and the consequences of impulsive decisions. It offers a glimpse into the lives and aspirations of its characters, highlighting the contrast between rural and urban settings and the complexities of human relationships.While 'Beyond the City' may not be as famous as Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes stories, it showcases his storytelling abilities and his versatility as a writer. The novel provides readers with a different perspective on the human condition and the pursuit of happiness and fulfillment. 92 pp. Englisch. N° de réf. du vendeur 9791041820818
