Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the world of street-life in post-war London through the eyes of Jaques, a disfigured beggar. The author sets Jaques' story within the broader context of the vibrant art scene that followed the end of the war, with artists congregating in Trafalgar Square, Soho, an…d the embankment gardens. The book explores the bohemian lifestyle and the clash between the social outcasts and artists struggling in the wake of the war. Through poetic prose, the author examines the theme of human desire, juxtaposing the inhibited lives of the middle-class characters, such as Faith, with the uninhibited and grotesque life of Jaques. As the novel progresses, Faith and Jaques' lives intertwine, highlighting the gap between their worlds. Amidst the vibrancy of London, this book delves into the hidden corners of human experience, exposing the delicate balance between social constraints and the uninhibited expression of desire. Overall, the book is a profound meditation on the human spirit, encouraging readers to question the norms of society and confront their own hidden desires.
