Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'The Sailor's Return' is a poignant and stark novella that explores the complexities of race, identity, and social intolerance in rural 19th-century England. The story centers on William Targett, a sailor who returns to his native Dorset village after a long career at sea. He brings with him…his wife, Tulip, a princess from the African kingdom of Dahomey, and their young son. Hoping to settle into a quiet life, William takes over a local tavern, renaming it the Sailor's Return.As the family attempts to integrate into the provincial community, they are met with escalating suspicion and bigotry from the local villagers. The narrative masterfully depicts the clash between the couple's genuine affection and the rigid, narrow-minded social structures of the time. David Garnett's prose is direct and evocative, capturing both the beauty of the English countryside and the ugliness of human prejudice. A landmark work in early 20th-century literature, 'The Sailor's Return' offers a heartbreaking critique of cultural conflict and the tragic consequences of a society's refusal to accept difference. It remains a powerful study of the struggle for personal freedom against the weight of tradition and xenophobia.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
