Inhaltsangabe

'A great literary masterpiece' A. N. Wilson
'A genius ... a fearless writer, who writes with reckless passion' Margaret Drabble

John Cowper Powys's epic Wolf Solent centres around the story of a young man returning to his roots in the West Country after ten years in London. Complex, romantic and humorous, it is peopled with memorable characters and filled with vivid, primitive descriptions of landscape. But beyond this powerful evocation of people and place, Wolf Solent is also a meditation on life and death, good and evil, body and soul, combining the earthy and everyday with the spiritual.

'Wolf Solent is a stupendous and rather glorious book … as beautiful and strange as an electric storm' V. S. Pritchett

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

John Cowper Powys (Author)

Von der hinteren Coverseite

First published in 1929, Wolf Solent was the first in John Cowper Powys’ great sequence of visionary works of fiction, set in Hardy’s Wessex but a Wessex now ravaged by the impact of the Great War and the curse of modernity. Both a lyrical story of the English countryside and an agonised account of life and love in the shadow of monstrous change, Wolf Solent is a cult novel like no other.
