The History of Mr. Polly

Meer over het boek

Set in early 20th-century England, this comic novel follows the life of Mr. Polly, an unremarkable man who navigates the challenges of a mundane existence. Struggling with his unfulfilling marriage and the constraints of his small-town life, Mr. Polly embarks on a journey of self-discovery that leads to humorous and poignant moments. H. G. Wells skillfully blends satire and social commentary, exploring themes of individuality, freedom, and the quest for happiness in a conformist society.
