Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Published in 1917, Marching Men traces the rise of Beaut McGregor, a coal-town outsider who carries the brutal energies of industrial America into Chicago, where his yearning for order becomes a strange movement of disciplined men marching through the city. Anderson's prose is stark, symbolic, and restless, combining social realism with an emergent modernist concern for alienation, mass behavior, and the spiritual vacancy beneath American progress. Sherwood Anderson, later celebrated for Winesburg, Ohio, drew on his own intimate knowledge of Midwestern towns, factories, business offices, and urban ambition. Having worked in advertising and manufacturing before abandoning conventional success for literature, Anderson understood both the seductions and dehumanizing pressures of modern commerce. Marching Men reflects his early attempt to diagnose a society rich in motion but poor in meaning. This novel is recommended for readers interested in American literary modernism before its canonical moment, and in fiction that interrogates labor, masculinity, crowd psychology, and the making of public power. Though less famous than Anderson's short fiction, it remains a compelling and intellectually provocative work. 128 pp. Englisch.…

Condición: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - In 'Marching Men,' Sherwood Anderson explores the intricacies of American life during the early 20th century through a lens of disillusionment and existential inquiry. The novel employs a lyrical and introspective style characterized by Anderson's signature stream-of-consciousness technique, allowing readers to delve deep into the minds of its characters as they navigate the tumult of industrialization and urban growth. Set against the backdrop of a rapidly changing society, the narrative captures the tension between individual aspirations and the collective experience of modernity, presenting a microcosm of America's evolving identity. Sherwood Anderson, a pivotal figure in early modern American literature, was profoundly influenced by his own experiences in the heartland and the burgeoning industrial landscape of his time. His earlier work, particularly 'Winesburg, Ohio,' laid the groundwork for a focus on the inner lives of ordinary people, a theme that resonates throughout 'Marching Men.'

'Marching Men' is recommended for readers interested in the complexities of human existence and the socio-economic dynamics of early 20th-century America. Anderson's poignant prose invites reflection on the universal themes of hope, despair, and the relentless march of progress, making it an essential read for those captivated by the realities of American life.…
