Sinossi
Excerpt from Miss. Theodora: A West End Story
Yet it was not extravagance, but blind faith in the financial wisdom of others, as well as an undue readiness to lend money to every man who wished to borrow from him, which brought to Miss Theodora's father the trouble that probably has tened him to his grave. When he died, it was found that he had lost all but a fraction of a former fortune. His widow survived him only a few years, and before her death the family had to leave their roomy mansion on the hill, with its pleasant garden, for a smaller house farther down the street.

Miss. Theodora: A West End Story (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandDa: Forgotten Books, London, Regno Unito
Valutazione del venditore 5 su 5 stelle
Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book transports readers to a bygone era of the New England elite, where the lives of the well-to-do are contrasted with those of the less fortunate. It is through the eyes of Miss Theodora, a once-wealthy woman living on the verge of genteel poverty, that we witness the evolution of the old social order. Theodora's life is one of stark contrast, from the lavish parties of her youth to the humble neighborhood she now inhabits. While her circumstances have undeniably changed, we see that her spirit has not. She maintains an air of quiet dignity, a beacon of resilience for her nephew Ernest, in whose life she plays a pivotal role. In the multifaceted character of Ernest, the author paints a vivid portrayal of the aspirations and challenges faced by the young in a rapidly changing world. Despite his family's diminished fortune, Ernest harbors dreams of success. His pursuit of knowledge reflects a tension between traditional expectations and a desire to forge his own path in life. While Ernest struggles to navigate the complexities of his upbringing, the author explores the theme of societal expectations. Through the eyes of these characters, we witness the tension between preserving long-held traditions and embracing new ideas. The author paints a nuanced picture of a society in transition, where the old guard struggles to maintain its relevance and the young yearn for change. This book offers a captivating glimpse into the lives of the wealthy and the working poor, the old guard and the young dreamers, in a society grappling with modernization. Through poignant stories and vivid characters, the author delves into the struggles, dreams, and aspirations of those within these vastly different worlds.
