Rreth këtij libri elektronik
George Gissing's "Demos" presents a profound exploration of social class, the individual's struggle for identity, and the political currents of late 19th-century Britain. Through intricate character development and vivid depictions of urban life, Gissing employs a naturalistic literary style that delves into the psyche of his protagonists. This novel stands as a product of the era's social upheavals, addressing themes of socialism, individualism, and the moral dilemmas faced by the working class, all while echoing the stylistic influences of contemporaries such as Hardy and Zola. Gissing himself emerged from a modest background, his early life marked by poverty and a deep-seated empathy for the working class. This personal experience is reflected in his works, where he often critiques the social structures that perpetuate inequality. The author's academic pursuits and his exposure to varied intellectual circles further shaped his outlook, solidifying his commitment to exploring the human condition's complexities amidst socio-economic challenges. "Demos" is not just a narrative; it is an insightful commentary that resonates with the contemporary reader. I highly recommend this novel to those interested in understanding socialism's evolution and the intricate relationship between society and the individual. Gissing's rich prose and thought-provoking themes make it a significant addition to the canon of social realism.
Rreth autorit
George Robert Gissing (1857–1903) was a notable English novelist who, through his prodigious body of work, examined the social and intellectual conflicts of Victorian society. Born in Yorkshire to lower-middle-class parents, Gissing's early life was marred by tragedy and personal misfortunes, which would later permeate the somber and often critical tone of his fiction. After a promising start at Owens College, his academic career ended abruptly due to a prison sentence for theft, a desperate act to support his first wife, who was a prostitute. Despite these hardships, he pursued his literary ambitions, finding recognition with 'Demos: A Story of English Socialism' (1886), a novel that explores the turbulent dynamics of political ideals and economic realities in the life of a working-class character who inherits a fortune. Gissing's narrative style is characterized by a scrupulous realism and detailed character studies. His work often delved into the challenges facing the 'intellectual proletariat' and the intricacies of class relations, which positioned him as a critical observer of the social fabric of his time. Regarded as a leading realist writer of the late Victorian era, Gissing's contributions have been celebrated for their psychological depth and honesty, attributes that remain influential in the study of 19th-century English literature.
