Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Set in a neglected wilderness, the narrative unfolds through Squire Headlong's reflections on his father's disregard for their estate, which has devolved into a chaotic landscape of overgrown plants and remnants of past grandeur. The imagery of a summer garden overtaken by thistles and nettles, alongside the remnants of statues, evokes themes of decay and loss. This backdrop serves as a poignant metaphor for neglect and the passage of time, highlighting the contrast between past beauty and present disarray.
