Marching Men

Autor Sherwood Anderson
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 15 mai 2024
First published in 1917, Marching Men sharply depicts the struggle of the American working class to adjust to the demands and pressures brought on by the Age of Mechanization. It is a powerful narrative about an age under assault by modern industrialization and corrupt labor practices. Anyone who wishes to know about this dynamic time in American history, should definitely read this exciting work. Apart from documenting a society in upheaval, the novel is a testimony to young men and women who had the courage to confront social and economic injustice. What is unique about the novel is how Sherwood Anderson addresses a major problem of the era without becoming didactic, Instead we register the change in America through the eyes of his young protagonist who reflects on the events from a troubled and compassionate perspective. This special edition also includes various photos and illustrations from the era in which the novel was written. They offer the reader snapshots of a period of transition that brought about changes Anderson saw as exciting but also as a threat to old established ways of life.

Notă biografică

Sherwood Anderson (1876-1941) was an American businessman and writer of short stories and novels. Born in Ohio, Anderson was self-educated and became, by his early thirties, a successful salesman and business owner. Within a decade, however, Anderson suffered what was described as a nervous breakdown and fled his seemingly picture-perfect life for the city of Chicago, where he had lived for a time in his twenties. In doing so, he left behind a wife and three children, but embarked upon a writing career that would win him acclaim as one of the finest American writers of the early-twentieth century.
