Elephant and Castle: A Reconstruction (Classic Reprint)

R C Hutchinson

4.9/5 (15459 ratings)

Description:There has been no really first-rate novel out of England in the last decade which exactly fits the great tradition -- until now. R.C. Hutchinson's ELEPHANT AND CASTLE is that novel. A very long book, it is as full of people as a novel by Dickens, as sharply etched as a novel by Thackeray, and it has also the free-ranging quality of Anthony Trollope. It is the story of a strange and extraordinary relationship between a young lady of an old family and a man from London's worst slums. In it appear rich streaks of humor, sometimes light and ephemeral, sometimes the deep, all-pervading humor that wells up out of humanity itself. There are dozens of characters into whose lives the reader is translated so completely that he never forgets the experience. ELEPHANT AND CASTLE has that real stature so seldom evident in today's fiction. Here is the perfect presentation of a London we shall never see again."R. C. Hutchinson is certainly a major novelist, and very possibly the finest English novelist now living; he has the qualities--vivid atmosphere, sharp and humorous characterizations, gripping narrative, romanticism in its best sense--which ought to make for a wide success." -- Basil Davenport.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
