O knihe
The Story of a Country Town is a pioneering triumph of realistic fiction and a landmark of 19th-century American classic literature. Edgar Watson Howe wrote it at night after a hard day's work as editor and publisher of an evening newspaper in Aitchison, Kansas. The novel represents a retreat from the nineteenth-century romantic image of rural life in the American Midwest. Set in the fictional town of Twin Mounds, the narrative serves as a sharp critique of an environment that cripples the mind and corrodes the spirit. It is marked by a sense of harsh pessimism and a feeling of lost opportunities. Ideal for readers interested in American classic literature, small-town fiction, rural life novels, and historical fiction. The Story of a Country Town invites reflection on the realities of small-town existence and the bittersweet nature of rural community life. As a novel, it marks the moment the myth of small-town America gave way to the wasteland of broken dreams.
