Ebook-Leseprobe (EPUB)

In Henry Sydnor Harrison's novel 'Queed,' readers are swept into the vibrant world of early 20th century America as they follow the story of Roger Queed, a brilliant but socially awkward young man who goes on a journey of self-discovery and personal growth. The book is written in a straightforward prose style with rich details that bring the characters and settings to life, reflecting the realism and naturalism of the period. 'Queed' explores themes of ambition, identity, and the pursuit of happiness, making it a compelling read for those interested in character-driven narratives and coming-of-age stories. Harrison's insightful portrayal of Queed's complex inner world and the challenges he faces will resonate with readers of all ages. This novel stands out as a timeless classic that has left a lasting impact on American literature and continues to captivate readers with its universal themes and moving narrative.

Henry Sydnor Harrison (1880-1930) was an American novelist who adeptly captured the complexities of early 20th-century life. His most prominent work, 'Queed' (1911), reflects Harrison's perceptive eye and his penchant for social critique. With a narrative that encapsulates a transformational journey of its introverted protagonist, the book examines themes of personal growth, societal expectations, and the search for one's purpose in the bustling backdrop of a rapidly modernizing world. Harrison's literary style is characterized by its thoughtful prose and intricate character development, melding a keen psychological insight with an embracing portrayal of the human condition. While 'Queed' stands out as Harrison's signature work, his other novels also offer rich explorations of early modern American society and contribute to his reputation as an insightful commenter on the cultural and social mores of his time.
