A Perfect Lady: A Novelization of the Channing Pollock-Rennold Wolf Play (Classic Reprint) - Brossura
Sinossi
Excerpt from A Perfect Lady: A Novelization of the Channing Pollock-Rennold Wolf Play
He trots in quietly, and mysteriously the bridge begins to quiver. The shaking grows as he trots on, till in the middle the movement is measured by inches, until, they say, the beams begin to groan, and the great pins to stir in their holes with sounds like distant revolver shots, and clay nest-shards fall from overhead, and the swallows fly out in fluttering fear.
But he must keep to the time of his trot. If he breaks into a lope or stops to scratch, the spell is broken, and the old bridge settles itself to its former habit of silent struggle.
This is the story of how a certain priestess of the great goddess Rhythm came to Sycamore Junction and set things stirring there.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This novel is a window into the evolving landscape of American social structures in the early 1900s. During a time of industrial expansion and westward migration, a theatrical troupe's journey to a small Kansas town becomes the catalyst for a lively social critique. The arrival of the troupe disrupts the town's established order, as the author explores themes of tradition versus progress, the struggle between duty and desire, and the search for a sense of belonging. Through the colorful cast of characters, the author weaves a narrative that captures both the nostalgic appeal of the past and the lure of modernity. The result is a thoughtful examination of American identity and the complex interplay between tradition and change.
