Английская Википедия:Falkland (novel)
Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox book Falkland is an 1827 Gothic novella by the British writer Edward Bulwer-Lytton.[1] [2] It was his first published novel and took inspiration from Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's The Sorrows of Young Werther.[3] The protagonist was likely partly based on Bulwer-Lytton himself. The novel enjoyed success in Germany, but was criticised in Britain as immoral.[4] It was followed by Pelham in 1828, in which he switched to the fashionable silver fork genre, which established him as leading writing in Britain and Europe.
Synopsis
