Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - 'It's Not Done' is a sharp and insightful satirical novel that examines the rigid social structures and moral complexities of the American upper class during the early 20th century. Set against the backdrop of Philadelphia's elite society, the narrative follows John Corsey, a man born into immense privilege who finds himself increasingly at odds with the stifling expectations of his station. As Corsey navigates the demands of family duty and the pursuit of personal fulfillment, he confronts a world governed by unspoken rules and the pervasive social code that gives the book its title-a mantra used to suppress any behavior deemed beneath one's class. William C. Bullitt provides a sophisticated critique of the aristocracy, painting a vivid portrait of a fading era where tradition and reputation were paramount. Through its exploration of marriage, career, and social ambition, the work highlights the internal conflict of an individual trapped between the security of his heritage and the desire for a more authentic existence. 'It's Not Done' remains a significant piece of literary history for its astute observation of class dynamics and its enduring questions about the cost of social conformity. This novel offers readers a compelling look at the tensions that shaped the American elite during a period of profound cultural transition.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
