About this book
In the early 20th century, London’s high society was a labyrinth of privilege and disillusionment. "The Londoners: An Absurdity" by Robert Hichens delves into the life of Mrs. Verulam, a woman ensnared by the absurdities of her social milieu. As she confronts the ennui of her existence, Hichens masterfully captures the essence of a society obsessed with status and appearances. Through sharp dialogue and vivid characterizations, readers witness the stark contrast between genuine desire and societal expectations. This novel is essential for students and civic activists seeking to understand the complexities of human nature within the rigid confines of class. Explore the absurdity that defines an era in this compelling narrative that remains relevant today.
