Více o knize

The narrative follows Edward Bumpus, who grapples with his disconnection from the stable life he once knew as he becomes the gatekeeper of Chippering Mill in the chaotic city of Hampton. At fifty-five, he reflects on his past and the societal shifts that have left him bewildered. His abandonment of the Congregational Church symbolizes his struggle with a world that seems increasingly fragmented and chaotic, contrasting sharply with the steadfastness of a nearby Roman Catholic Church. The story delves into themes of identity, faith, and the search for meaning amidst modernity.
