Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A quiet encounter can illuminate a life. A Belated Guest gathers its quiet power in a single evening, turning a seemingly ordinary visit into a meditation on memory, belonging, and the unwritten rules of hospitality.

Historically, Howells helped shape American realism, and this restored edition stands as a significant touchstone for students of literary history and for lovers of enduring fiction.

Readers encounter ordinary girls facing ordinary trials, finding solidarity and resolve in camaraderie, mischief managed, and lessons learned.Historically, the book sits within a revered lineage of classic girls literature and public domain classics that helped inform generations of readers. Its revival by project gutenberg and Alpha Editions honours a tradition of careful preservation, making it a tangible link to the past while speaking with contemporary clarity. The volume stands as a touchstone for collectors and casual readers who treasure authentic period voice, elegant moral nuance, and a sense of cultural memory intact.Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions, this edition is more than a reprint. It is a collector's item and a cultural treasure, restored for today's generations and for the many that will discover it tomorrow, a heritage legible and alive for the next century.
