Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

"Farthing Hall" is a charming epistolary novel born from the unique collaboration between two masters of early twentieth-century British literature, Hugh Walpole and J. B. Priestley. Written as an exchange of letters between two friends-Mark, a young artist, and Bob, an older academic-the narrative unfolds as they navigate their respective romantic entanglements and adventures in the scenic English countryside. Mark travels in pursuit of a mysterious beauty he encountered on a train, while Bob attempts to reconcile with his estranged wife amidst the rustic charm of the north.

Set against the atmospheric backdrop of the Lake District and the titular "Farthing Hall," the work blends humor, romance, and vivid character studies. As the correspondence progresses, the authors weave a lighthearted yet insightful tapestry of friendship and the complexities of the human heart. This collaborative effort showcases the distinct voices of both authors, offering a delightful glimpse into the social manners and literary style of the late 1920s. Readers will find themselves immersed in a classic tale of pursuit and discovery that celebrates the enduring power of connection and the beauty of the British landscape.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
