Kenelm Chillingly, His Adventures and Views on Life

«Kenelm Chillingly», the last novel by Edward Bulwer-Lytton, — is a reasonable and unhurried work, ironic and contemplative. The main character — the long-awaited heir of a noble lineage, a thoughtful and dreamy young man, not lacking in abilities and talents. His parents place all their hopes on Kenelm, but before deciding on his future, the young man decides to discover himself and sets off on a walking journey through the roads of England with only a couple of pounds in his pocket. Along the way, he experiences many adventures, meets a variety of people, and forms his own, quite unusual views on life for someone of his class.
