Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - 'St. Helios' is a compelling novel that explores the intricate dynamics of power, legacy, and social standing in the early 20th century. The story centers on the formidable Lord Heriot, a man whose nickname, 'St. Helios,' reflects his radiating influence and domineering presence within his social circle and family. As the narrative unfolds, it delves into the lives of those caught in his orbit, particularly his daughter, Nicole, who must navigate the complexities of her father's reputation and the hidden truths of her own heritage.Set against a backdrop of shifting societal values between England and America, the work examines the clash between traditional aristocratic expectations and the burgeoning modern world. Anna Robeson Burr masterfully portrays the tension inherent in maintaining public prestige while grappling with private vulnerabilities and the consequences of illegitimacy. Through its rich characterizations and evocative settings, 'St. Helios' offers a poignant study of character, the weight of ancestry, and the quest for individual identity amidst the pressures of high society. This novel remains a significant example of early twentieth-century psychological fiction, capturing the nuances of a class-conscious era with sharp insight and literary grace.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
