Theodore Racksole ist verärgert. Unter gutem Service versteht er etwas anderes. Nicht nur, dass der Kellner des Londoner Nobelhotels, in dem er abgestiegen ist, ihm seinen Lieblingscocktail verwehrt, auch seiner Tochter Nella wird das gewünschte Steak verweigert.

In this radical reinterpretation of six brilliant Arnold Bennett novels, it’s the 19th-century Midlands and over 10-and-a-half sweeping hours individuals rise and fall, they age, flourish, and try to keep up as the world around them changes into something unrecognisable, transformed by new technology. Fortunes are made and lost, hearts broken, empires built and deals made. These tales of aspiration and passion, damage and danger are told with Bennett's forensic, (journalist’s) eye for human psychology and a surprising degree of witty comedy.

Arnold Bennet, giornalista e scrittore, ha prodotto in questo libretto, pubblicato nel 1925, la sua ricetta per l'arte di vivere, e vivere felici.

Many books have been written on how to live on a certain amount of money each day. And he added that the old adage "time is money" understates the matter, as time can often produce money, but money cannot produce more time.
