Through the comedic misadventures of its characters onboard a sleeping car, Howells adeptly critiques social norms, class disparities, and the burgeoning experience of modern travel. His use of witty dialogue and farcical situations not only elicits humor but also invites readers to scrutinize the inconsistencies of human behavior against the backdrop of an increasingly industrialized world. Howells, often referred to as the "Dean of American Letters," was a prominent figure in realism and a fierce advocate for literary authenticity. His extensive travels and keen observations of societal changes likely served as catalysts for this work. Having navigated the intricacies of American life as both a journalist and novelist, Howellss insights into social nuances are deeply embedded in this narrative, showcasing his perceptive understanding of human nature amidst societal transformations. "The Sleeping-Car: A Farce" is a must-read for those who appreciate the interplay of comedy and critique within literature. It offers not only entertainment but also a reflective lens on the social fabric of its time, making it relevant for contemporary readers who seek to understand the enduring complexities of travel and human interactions.</p>...1940537The Sleeping-Car: A Farce4545https://www.gandhi.com.mx/the-sleeping-car-a-farce-3/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/563746/54a8af4b-6634-4f8d-9895-27dba74e3fac.jpg?v=638335311770470000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20228596547380757_W3siaWQiOiIwMjIzMWQxZi04OWEzLTRhMWQtOGI2NS01N2YwNDRmN2Y2ODAiLCJsaXN0UHJpY2UiOjQ1LCJkaXNjb3VudCI6MCwic2VsbGluZ1ByaWNlIjo0NSwiaW5jbHVkZXNUYXgiOnRydWUsInByaWNlVHlwZSI6Ildob2xlc2FsZSIsImN1cnJlbmN5IjoiTVhOIiwiZnJvbSI6IjIwMjUtMDEtMjVUMDk6MDA6MDBaIiwicmVnaW9uIjoiTVgiLCJpc1ByZW9yZGVyIjpmYWxzZX1d8596547380757_<p>DigiCat Publishing presents to you this special edition of The Sleeping-Car: A Farce by William Dean Howells.

Written in a light and witty style, Howells uses sharp dialogue and comedic situations to highlight the hypocrisy and folly of the upper class. Set in a luxurious sleeping-car on a train, the play cleverly exposes the characters shallow desires and selfish motivations. This farce fits within Howells larger body of work, known for its social commentary and realism, although in this instance his tone is more lighthearted and ironic. The play reflects Howells keen observation of human behavior and his knack for shining a light on societal norms and values. Inspired by the authors own encounters with the upper class, The Sleeping-Car: A Farce provides a delightful and thought-provoking look at the follies of privilege and pretension. I recommend this play to readers who enjoy clever humor, sharp social critique, and a glimpse into the absurdities of human nature.</p>...(*_*)8596547380757_<p>William Dean Howellss "The Sleeping-Car: A Farce" is a sharp, satirical exploration of American society and its evolving transportation culture at the turn of the 20th century.
