Bøger af Hugh Walpole

Sir Hugh Walpole, was a much loved author in the ealry 20th century. His other books include "The Herries Chronicles".

Sir Hugh Seymour Walpole (1884-1941) was a prolific English novelist, publishing 36 novels, five volumes of short stories, two plays and three volumes of memoirs. The characters are captives in a religious environment -- sometimes orthodox, sometimes fervently fanatical -- and a couple is reunited after many wanderings and an unhappy marriage.

1913. Walpole wrote horror novels that tended more towards the psychological rather than supernatural, with a brooding underlying mysticism. He achieved financial and literary success with Fortitude. The novel is a romance; a fairytale about a young man who very naively believes in almost everything; one of the author's school stories based on his experiences as a teacher, and an epic account of another young writer in the making. Its opening line acts as a clarion call: It isn't life that matters, but the courage you bring to it! See other titles by this author available from Kessinger Publishing.
