Am Ufer des Ruhmes

Am Ufer des Ruhmes

Gwen Bristow

Završnica trilogije Gwen Bristow smještena u doba Prvog svjetskog rata. Kroz brak Eleanor i Kebra prepliću se klasne razlike, financijski krah i borba za spas obiteljskog imanja u Louisiani.

„Am Ufer des Ruhmes“ (u izvorniku This Side of Glory) treći je i završni nastavak proslavljene obiteljske sage Gwen Bristow o obiteljima Larne i Upjohn. Radnja je smještena početkom 20. stoljeća uoči i tijekom Prvoga svjetskog rata te prati Eleanor Upjohn, modernu i praktičnu djevojku iz radničke obitelji, i Kebra Larnea, potomka siromašne, ali ponosne plantažerske aristokracije.

Njihov brak od samog početka opterećen je dubokim društvenim i klasnim razlikama. Dok se obitelj Larne grčevito drži tradicije i prošlosti, imanje Ardeith zapada u teške dugove. Izbijanjem rata u Europi i naglim skokom cijene pamuka, Eleanor preuzima upravljanje imanjem te svojom poduzetnošću i odlučnošću spašava obitelj od propasti. Međutim, financijski uspjeh stvara jaz između supružnika, jer Kebra pogađa osjećaj nesposobnosti, a izbijanje rata dovodi ga do odluke da ode na bojišnicu u Europu, ostavljajući Eleanor da se sama bori s obiteljskim spletkama i tajnama.

Gwen Bristow u ovom romanu majstorski prikazuje nestanak staroga Juga i rađanje modernog doba. Kroz lik snažne i neovisne Eleanor, autorica istražuje teme ženske emancipacije, premošćivanja klasnih podjela te moći oprosta u borbi za očuvanje ljubavi i obitelji usred turbulentnih povijestnih promjena.
