The Shadow of a Dream and An Imperative Duty

Meer over het boek

Exploring psychological realism, this collection features two nouvelles that delve into complex themes such as tragic love triangles and the intricacies of miscegenation. With proto-Freudian insights, the narratives challenge the perception of Howells as a writer of light topics. The depth of artistry and moral understanding present in these stories offers a profound impact, setting them apart from more sensational contemporary fiction.
