Beschreibung

Somehow good explores the struggles of a person attempting to rebuild a sense of self and belonging after losing all memory of the past. The novel reflects on the search for purpose and identity when familiar anchors are stripped away, emphasizing how unexpected trials can reveal inner character and resilience. The work highlights the tension between chaos and order as the protagonist faces the harsh realities of urban life, where violence and injustice are part of the daily landscape. It examines how instinctive acts of compassion and courage emerge in moments of crisis, offering glimpses of hope and renewal. The narrative draws attention to the importance of connection and the possibility of redemption as strangers become allies in the journey toward recovery. The backdrop of a bustling city filled with hardship and opportunity serves as a powerful contrast to the inner turmoil of a man seeking meaning. Ultimately, the novel offers a meditation on strength, memory, and the human will to endure.

Autor

William Frend De Morgan was born on 16 November 1839 in Gower Street, London, to Augustus De Morgan and Sophia Elizabeth De Morgan. He became widely known for his contributions as both a potter and novelist, as well as his association with the Arts and Crafts movement. A close friend of William Morris, he worked with Morris & Co. from 1863 to 1872, creating tiles, stained glass, and furniture designs that reflected medieval and Islamic artistic traditions. His work as a tile designer stood out for its imaginative patterns, innovative glazes, and unique firing techniques that set new standards in decorative arts. Beyond pottery, De Morgan turned to literature later in life, producing novels that gained recognition for their depth and originality. His marriage to Evelyn De Morgan in 1887 marked a personal and creative partnership that lasted until his death. He received his early education at University College School in London. De Morgan's legacy endures through both his artistic creations and written works, reflecting a lifelong dedication to beauty, craftsmanship, and storytelling. He died on 15 January 1917 in London at the age of 77.
