Beskrivelse af Man and Maid
Man and Maid is a novel by Elinor Glyn that was first published in 1922. The story revolves around the characters of Lord and Lady Ericson, a couple who have been married for several years but have grown apart due to their different interests and lifestyles. Lady Ericson, a beautiful and spirited woman, has become bored with her aristocratic life and yearns for adventure and excitement. She meets a young American, Jim, who is working as a chauffeur for a wealthy family and is immediately drawn to him.As Lady Ericson and Jim begin to spend more time together, their feelings for each other grow stronger. However, their relationship is complicated by the fact that Jim is engaged to a young woman back in America, and Lady Ericson is still married. The novel explores themes of love, infidelity, and societal expectations, as the characters struggle to navigate their emotions and desires in a world that is not always accepting of their choices.Despite the scandalous subject matter, Man and Maid was a popular novel in its time, and Glyn was known for her provocative writing style and her ability to capture the spirit of the era. The book is a fascinating glimpse into the world of the British aristocracy in the early 20th century, and a timeless exploration of the complexities of human relationships.1922. Glyn, English novelist, whose best-selling romantic novels were once considered daring and slightly scandalous. Man and Maid begins: February, 1918. I am sick of my life, The war has robbed it of all that a young man can find of joy. I look at my mutilated face before I replace the black patch over the left eye, and I realize that, with my crooked shoulder, and the leg gone from the right knee downwards, that no woman can feel emotion for me again in this world. So be it-I must be a philosopher.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
