Description:Wilhelm Meister, Elizabeth Bennet, Julien Sorel, Rastignac, Jane Eyre, Bazaroz, Dorothea Brooke ... the golden age of the European novel discovers a new collective youth. It is problematic and restless youth—“strange” characters, as their own creators often say—arising from the downfall of traditional societies.

This new edition includes an additional final chapter on the collapse of the Bildungsroman in the years around the First World War (a crisis which opened the way for modernist experiments), and a new preface in which the author looks back at The Way of the World in the light of his more recent work.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
