Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Tales Of The Five Towns is a collection of short stories written by Arnold Bennett and originally published in 1905. The book is set in the fictional Five Towns, which is based on the real-life area of the Potteries in Staffordshire, England. The stories explore the lives of the people who live and work in the Five Towns, focusing on their struggles, hopes, and dreams. The book contains twelve stories, each with its own unique characters and plot. Some of the stories are more lighthearted, such as ""The Card"" which follows the exploits of a young man trying to win a card game, while others are more serious, such as ""The Lion's Share"" which examines the relationship between a father and son who are both struggling to make ends meet. Throughout the book, Bennett's writing is characterized by his attention to detail and his ability to capture the nuances of everyday life. He portrays his characters with empathy and understanding, and his stories are both insightful and entertaining. Tales Of The Five Towns is considered a classic of English literature and is widely regarded as one of Bennett's best works. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the social and cultural history of England, and for anyone who enjoys well-written and engaging short stories.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
