The Inheritors

Opis książki

'The Inheritors: An Extravagant Story', written by Joseph Conrad and Ford Madox Ford, is a quasi-science fiction novel that explores the corrupting influence of modernity on British aristocracy in the early 20th century. The novel uses the metaphor of the "fourth dimension" to illustrate the societal shift towards cold materialism and expediency. The novel's narrator, an aspiring writer, experiences a similar personal transformation, leaving him feeling like he has lost everything. The novel follows the story of Arthur, an English writer, who meets a fascinating woman claiming to be from the Fourth Dimension, and her plan to "inherit the earth". The woman takes on different identities and invades Arthur's down-on-their-luck aristocratic family by financing improvements to their estate, and becomes more dazzlingly beautiful and desirable with each appearance.
