Sinopsis
Father and Son, a memoir first published anonymously in 1907, was Gosse's second book and is arecord of his struggle to 'fashion his inner life for himself.' The book describes Edmund's early years in an exceptionally devout Plymouth Brethren home. His mother, who died early and painfully of breast cancer, was a writer of Christian tracts. His father was an influential, though largely self-taught, invertebrate zoologist and student of marine biology who, after his wife's death, took Edmund to live in Devon. The book focuses on the relationship between a sternly religious father who rejects the new evolutionary theories of his scientific colleague Charles Darwin and the son's gradual coming of age and rejection of his father's fundamentalist religion. It was immediately acclaimed for its courage in flouting the conventions of Victorian autobiography and is still a moving account of self-discovery.

Paperback. Condición: Very Good. At birth Edmund Gosse was dedicated to 'the Service of the Lord'. His parents were Plymouth Brethren. After his mother's death Gosse was brought up in stifling isolation by his father, a marine biologist whose faith overcame his reason when confronted by Darwin's theory of evolution. Father and Son is also the record of Gosse's struggle to 'fashion his inner life for himself' - a record of whose full and subversive implications the author was unaware, as Peter Abbs notes in his Introduction. First published anonymously in 1907, Father and Son was immediately acclaimed for its courage in flouting the conventions of Victorian autobiography and is still a moving account of self-discovery. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Nº de ref. del artículo: GOR001304744

Condición: Muy bueno. : Padre e Hijo es una memoria publicada anónimamente en 1907 por Edmund Gosse. El libro describe los primeros años de Edmund en un hogar excepcionalmente devoto de los Hermanos de Plymouth. Su madre, que murió joven y dolorosamente de cáncer de mama, fue escritora de tratados cristianos. Su padre fue un influyente, aunque en gran parte autodidacta, zoólogo de invertebrados y estudiante de biología marina que, tras la muerte de su esposa, llevó a Edmund a vivir a Devon. El libro se centra en la relación entre un padre religiosamente severo que rechaza las nuevas teorías evolutivas de su colega científico Charles Darwin y la gradual mayoría de edad del hijo y el rechazo de la religión fundamentalista de su padre. Fue aclamado de inmediato por su valentía al burlar las convenciones de la autobiografía victoriana y sigue siendo un relato conmovedor del autodescubrimiento.
