Über diesen Titel

 Love Among the Artists, originally penned in 1881 and published in the United States in 1900 and in England in 1914, offers a captivating glimpse into the world of Victorian polite society. In an atmosphere filled with light-hearted chatter and superficiality, a young George Bernard Shaw shares his insights on the arts, the nature of romantic love, and the complexities of marriage. While he believes that dilettantes may find a way to balance love and domesticity, true artists, burdened by their genius, often struggle to conform to such societal norms. The central character, Owen Jack, is a brilliant yet eccentric musical talent, whose lack of social refinement contrasts sharply with his rising fame among the elite. This novel serves as a poignant exploration of Bohemia clashing with conventionality, revealing Shaws conviction that the true Artist lives by entirely different standards than the average person. Described by the author as a novel with a purpose, Love Among the Artists is both an ironic narrative and a serious commentary on the nature of artistry and society.Copyright Fiction Classics
