About This Book
A compact biographical portrait portrays a celebrated novelist through vivid physical description, family origins, and formative memories that shape his forceful temperament. It follows his restless youth and early move to the capital, an apprenticeship with an older writer, and habitual work methods, travels, and theatrical interests. The account traces how ancestral figures reappear as recurring character types in his fiction and emphasizes recurring themes in his novels: the struggle for livelihood, the lure of landscape, and a robust, often sensual view of life and women.
