| Summary | "Velikulta: Seikkailutarina kaupunkiviisikosta" by Arnold Bennett is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around Edward Henry Machin, affectionately known as Denry, a young man from a humble background aspiring to rise within society. His journey is marked by themes of ambition, social dynamics, and the impact of decisions on one's fate. At the start of the story, we meet Denry as he navigates life in Bursley, where his mother works as a washerwoman. Denry's unconventional tactics, including manipulating his exam results, hint at both his cleverness and moral ambiguity. The narrative introduces a pivotal moment as Denry enters the service of a prominent lawyer, setting the stage for his aspirations. His life takes a turn when he encounters the ambitious Countess Chell, which inspires him to attend an upcoming grand ball, culminating in humorous yet insightful situations as Denry prepares for an unfamiliar world of high society. This opening establishes not just Denry's character but also the rich social tapestry of the community that will shape his adventures. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
