This Is The End - Stella Benson - Bog

Bag om This Is The End

This Is The End is a novel written by Stella Benson. The book tells the story of a group of people living in a small English town who are suddenly faced with the end of the world. As the town is destroyed, the characters must come to terms with their mortality and the choices they have made in their lives. The narrative is both humorous and philosophical, exploring themes such as the nature of existence, the meaning of life, and the importance of human connection. The characters are vividly drawn, each with their own unique perspectives and personalities. The book is a poignant and thought-provoking exploration of the human condition, and the ways in which we face our own mortality.Now to be simple is all very well, but turn it into an active verb and you spoil the whole idea. To simplify seems forced, and I think Mrs. Gustus struck harder on the note of simplification than that of simplicity. I should not dare to criticise her, however, and Cousin Gustus was satisfied, so criticism in any case would be intrusive. It is just possible that he occasionally wished that she would dress herself in a more human way--patronise in winter the humble Viyella stripe, for instance, or in summer the flippant sprig. But a large proportion of Mrs. Gustus's faith was founded on simple strong colours in wide expanses, introduced, as it were, one to another by judicious black.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
