Java Head – hinnat ja saatavuus

Java Head is a novel written by Joseph Hergesheimer, first published in 1919. The story is set in the early 19th century and follows the lives of two generations of a wealthy New England family, the Vales. The novel explores the themes of love, family, and social status in a time when the world was changing rapidly. The book opens with the story of the patriarch of the Vale family, Captain Elihu, who made his fortune in the China trade. He is a stern and ambitious man who wants to maintain his family's social status and wealth. He has three children, the eldest of whom, Owen, is the protagonist of the story. Owen is a sensitive and artistic young man who falls in love with a beautiful Chinese woman named Lotus Blossom. Their love is forbidden, and Owen's family disapproves of the relationship. Despite the obstacles, Owen and Lotus Blossom continue to see each other in secret, and their love grows stronger. The novel then jumps forward to the next generation of the Vale family, where we meet Owen's son, George. George is a successful businessman who inherits his father's ambition and desire for wealth. He marries a wealthy socialite, but his heart still longs for the love he lost with Lotus Blossom. Java Head is a complex and engaging novel that explores the tensions between tradition and modernity, East and West, and love and social status. It is a beautifully written and evocative story that transports the reader to a different time and place. This Is A New Release Of The Original 1918 Edition.
