Mrs. Pendleton's Four-in-hand

Viac o knihe

Atherton, an influential American author, often set her novels in California, reflecting her deep connection to the state. Her notable work, Black Oxen, became a bestseller and inspired a silent film. Beyond fiction, she engaged with social issues through essays and articles on feminism, politics, and war. Her writing career began with a serialized romance under a pseudonym, which led to familial estrangement. After relocating to New York and traveling to London, she returned to California, where she continued to produce significant literary works.
