Souls for Sale

Meer over het boek

Set against the backdrop of the early twentieth century, this novel features a clergyman's daughter who ventures into the film industry, discovering a liberating moral landscape. Rubert Hughes, a notable figure of his time, crafts a satirical narrative that critiques both the Bible belt and Hollywood's conservative values. Despite support from iconic filmmakers, the work ultimately faded from prominence. Souls for Sale provides an insightful look into the evolving Jazz Age of cinema, reflecting the cultural shift from traditional norms to the dynamic world of Hollywood.
