Beskrivelse af The Half Hearted
The Half-Hearted is a 1900 novel of romance and adventure by the Scottish author John Buchan, in which the social expectations of the main characters shape the paths they must tread. The novel follows the life of Lewis Haystoun, a young Scottish laird, who nds himself unable to commit wholeheartedly to any course of action. His failure to seize the opportunity results in the woman he loves agreeing to marry a rival. Determined to face up to what he considers to be his cowardice, Haystoun departs for the Empire's north west frontier where he dies attempting to hold a narrow mountain pass single- handedly against an invading Cossack army.Writing for the John Buchan Society website in 2001, Christine Drews notes that this novel is the one most in uenced by John Buchan's study of Greek tragedy. She holds that the work's conclusion illumines a path of understanding that can provide perspective on small real-life disappointments and missed satisfactions. The telescoping of the immensity of a single gifted man's death into a purposeful cog in the turning of the wheel of eternity is a foreign, yet broadening philosophy, which shakes the reader's complacency.This classic title has been published by RADLEY BOOKS.
