Mrs. Craddok. African conqueror. Maugham S.

Berta has always been a romantic person and all her life dreamed of great love. True, both men with whom she once gave her heart were created, for the most part, by her imagination. The farmer Craddok, which was breaking into large landowners, is a kind, but rude and mundane person, unable to assess the strength and depth of the personality of his wife. And the young Gerald, on the contrary, is a vicious, angry throughout the world, a cynical boy, in which all the disappointment of the life of “golden youth” was concentrated. So can Mrs. Craddok find such a desired happiness with one of them? The young idealist Lucy seeks to correct his father’s mistakes and restore the good name of the family. The fearless conqueror of Africa and the real gentleman Alec Mackenzie is ready to help his lover in this and takes her frivolous younger brother George on an expedition to Africa. A novel about love, honor and betrayal, which will make you laugh fun, then sincerely compassion for the heroes.
