📱 eBook en inglés LOVE AND MR. LEWISHAM

Love and Mr. Lewisham is a compelling and intimate portrait of ambition, romance, and inner conflict from one of the early masters of modern fiction, H. G. Wells. Set in late Victorian England, the novel follows the life of Ewart Lewisham, a young, intelligent schoolteacher driven by an intense desire for self-improvement, social advancement, and intellectual success.
Lewisham lives by carefully constructed plans and rigid principles, believing that discipline and reason are the surest paths to achievement. His future, as he imagines it, leaves little room for emotional entanglements. However, his orderly ambitions are thrown into turmoil when he unexpectedly falls in love with Ethel Henderson, a young woman whose warmth, vulnerability, and circumstances challenge both his ideals and his sense of duty.
As Lewisham struggles to reconcile love with ambition, Wells explores timeless questions about the cost of success, the power of emotion, and the tension between personal happiness and societal expectations. The novel offers sharp psychological insight, social realism, and subtle criticism of the class system and educational culture of the time.
More than a simple love story, Love and Mr. Lewisham is a thoughtful examination of human aspiration and moral compromise. With emotional depth and intellectual clarity, Wells captures the universal struggle between the life we plan and the life that ultimately claims us.
