Beschreibung zu „Tatterdemalion“

'Tatterdemalion' is a collection of tragic short stories written by John Galsworthy. The stories are divided into two groups: those set in wartime and those set in peacetime. The first of this is called 'The Grey Angel, where we are introduced to a woman, who by her predilection for things French came from childish recollections of school days in Paris, and a hasty removal thence by her father during the revolution of '48, of later travels as a little maiden, by diligence, to Pau and the then undiscovered Pyrenees, to a Montpellier and a Nice as yet unspoiled. Unto her seventy-eighth year, her French accent had remained unruffled, her soul in love with French gloves and dresses; and her face had the pale, unwrinkled, slightly aquiline perfection of the 'French marquise' type—it may, perhaps, be doubted whether any French marquise ever looked the part so perfectly.

Über John Galsworthy

John Galsworthy was born in 1867. An early encounter with Joseph Conrad helped inspire him to write, and he went on to emerge as one of the most widely read novelists of his day, a reputation standing the test of time. He was elected the first president of International PEN, the association of writers, in 1912. He is best remembered for his trilogy The Forsyte Saga, which clinched his award of the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1932. He died in 1933, aged 65.
