Publisher's Synopsis
""Hermsprong Or Man As He Is Not"" is a novel written by Robert Bage. The story follows the adventures of an enigmatic character named Mr. Hermsprong, who travels from Europe to England in search of knowledge and adventure. Along the way, he encounters a variety of characters, each with their own unique quirks and beliefs. Through his interactions with these individuals, Hermsprong challenges the norms and conventions of society, questioning the role of religion, politics, and class in shaping human behavior. The novel is a satirical commentary on the social and political landscape of late 18th-century England, and explores themes of individualism, freedom, and the pursuit of happiness. With its witty humor and insightful observations, ""Hermsprong Or Man As He Is Not"" is a thought-provoking read that continues to captivate readers today.The latter are, indeed, rather open and engaging, than graceful. There is an ease about him, but it is an unstudied, unimitated ease. It seems his own; and becomes him so well, that he acquiries our good will, almost before he has spoke. That his conversation will support his credit with ladies in general, is more than I dare affirm. I will give you a small specimen, that you may judge for yourself. By the bye, he has a very ugly name; Hermsprong; it sounds monstrous Germanish.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
