The Angel of Pain

Více o knize

The novel career of Edward Frederic Benson began with the controversial Dodo, which cleverly satirizes social norms and figures of his time, including Ethel Smyth. Following its success, Benson continued to explore themes of satire and melodrama in his works. He revisited the beloved characters in Dodo the Second, capturing the vibrant pre-World War I society, and Dodo Wonders, which offers an insightful social history of the Great War's impact on Mayfair and the Shires. Benson's writing combines humor with keen social observation.
