About this audiobook
“The Sea Lady” of Herbert Wells is an elegant novel that combines elements of a thin satire, a philosophical tale and a psychological drama, in which the mythological story of the rush is translated into the brilliant English society of the early 20th century. After falling into the house of an honorable Victorian family, she quickly charms everyone with her beauty, sharpness and untouchable grace. However, behind her charm is a dangerous challenge: The Sea Lady does not recognize the conditionalities, false merits and the dry pragmatism of the human world. Her main goal becomes a young and prospective politician Harry Chatteris, whose measurable, predictable life and marriage with the “right” girl is broken under the influence of the wrath, natural call of the ocean and free love. Wells with sincere humor and light sadness opposes the spiritual town life and social predictions of the eternal, unbeatable beauty of nature and true freedom of spirit. **About what the book is in three words:** Rush, Blind, Freedom. **Who to read:** A lovers of subtle ironic classics, lovers of romantic fantasy and city stories, as well as everyone who is interested in Wells' philosophical thinking about human nature and social conditions.
