Aggiungere al carrelloPaperback. The Firing Line by Robert W. Chambers is a romance novel set against the backdrop of high society in New York and the subtropical setting of Florida. The story follows the complex relationships between its main characters-particularly the wealthy heroine, Sylvia Landis, and the men who pursue her. Blending themes of love, jealousy, and social expectations, Chambers explores the emotional and societal pressures faced by individuals in their pursuit of happiness. While primarily known for his earlier weird fiction, this novel reflects Chambers' later shift toward writing more mainstream romances. "It's really very classical," he said, "like the voyage of Ulysses; I, Ulysses, you the water nymph Calypso, drifting in that golden ship of Romance-" "Calypso was a land nymph," she observed, absently, "if accuracy interests you as much as your monologue." Checked and surprised, he began to laugh at his own discomfiture; and she, elbow on the gunwale, small hand cupping her chin, watched him with an expressionless directness that very soon extinguished his amusement and left him awkward in the silence. "I've tried my very best to be civil and agreeable," he said after a moment. "Is it really such an effort for you to talk to a man?" "Not if I am interested," she said quietly. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
