The History Of Sir Richard Calmady

""The History of Sir Richard Calmady"" is a novel written by Lucas Malet. It tells the story of Sir Richard Calmady, a wealthy and successful man who is haunted by his past. Sir Richard is paralyzed from the waist down and is forced to live a life of seclusion in his country estate. The novel explores his relationships with his wife, his brother, and his childhood friend, as well as his struggle to come to terms with his disability and his guilt over a tragic event from his past. The book is set in the late 19th century in England and is a complex and introspective examination of the human condition. It deals with themes of love, loss, guilt, and redemption, and is considered one of Malet's most accomplished works.Yet when it arose, the crisis proved none the less agonising because of that foreknowledge. Two strains of feeling struggled within her. A blinding sorrow for her child, a fear of and shame at her own violence of anger. Katherine's mind was of an uncompromising honesty. She knew that her instinct had, for a space at least, been murderous. She knew that, given equal provocation, it would be murderous again.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
