About this listen

 In the wake of his wifes abandonment, Sir Austin Feverel is determined to raise his son, Richard, under a rigid educational regime that influences every facet of his life. Yet, Richard yearns for independence, craving the freedom to make his own choices, experience love, and ultimately chart his own path. This compelling narrative explores the tumultuous conflict between a fathers controlling nature and a sons desire for autonomy. Once deemed too candid and sexually explicit for its time, this novel has garnered admiration from literary giants such as E. M. Forster, Oscar Wilde, and Virginia Woolf, solidifying its place as a significant work in literary history. - Summary by Stav Nisser and WikipediaCopyright Fiction Classics
