In Condensed Novels: New Burlesques , Bret Harte offers a witty and playful collection of satirical summaries of well-known 19th-century novels, condensed into humorous, exaggerated sketches. With sharp irony and clever parody, Harte lampoons the dramatic plots, sentimental excesses, and literary conventions of popular fiction of his time. Each burlesque distills a novel’s essence into a few pages of exaggerated absurdity while still capturing its emotional core. The work showcases Harte’s talent for blending humor with literary critique, making fun of melodramatic heroines, brooding heroes, and improbable twists—all while celebrating the storytelling traditions he gently mocks. A lighthearted and clever read for lovers of classic literature and satire alike.
Clarence. E-book. Formato EPUB Bret Harte - Interactive Media, 2016 -
Clarence is a lesser-known but engaging novel by Bret Harte that explores themes of identity, class, and moral dilemmas in post-Civil War America. The story follows Clarence Dermott, a young man of humble origins who discovers he is the heir to a vast estate, thrusting him into a world of wealth, privilege, and social expectations. As he navigates this new life, Clarence must reconcile his modest upbringing with the demands of high society, all while facing romantic entanglements, family secrets, and ethical challenges. Set against the backdrop of small-town America and infused with Harte’s signature blend of sentiment, irony, and regional realism, the novel offers a thoughtful examination of integrity, self-discovery, and the true measure of character in a rapidly changing world.
