Produktinformationen zu „Hermia Suydam (ePub)“
'Hermia Suydam' by Gertrude Franklin Horn Atherton is a novel set in New York. It is a story about a young girl called Hermia, growing up in 19th century New York, trying to succeed with her ambitious plans for the future, and the hardships she must overcome.
Excerpt:
"Hermia, like many other women, lived a double life. On the night when, under the dramatic illusion of Monte Cristo, her imagination had awakened with a shock which rent the film of childhood from her brain, she had found a dream-world of her own. The prosaic never suspected its existence; the earth's millions who dwelt in the same world cared nothing for any kingdom in it but their own; she was sovereign of a vast domain wrapped in the twilight mystery of dreamland, but peopled with obedient subjects conceived and molded in her waking brain. She walked stoically through the monotonous round of her daily life; she took a grim and bitter pleasure in fulfilling every duty it developed, and she never neglected the higher duty she owed her intellect; but when night came, and the key was turned in her door, she sprang from the life she abhorred into the world of her delight."
