About the Book

Coelebs: The Love Story of a Bachelor is a novel that explores themes of personal transformation, love, and the challenge of societal expectations. The story centers on a bachelor who leads a solitary life, deeply entrenched in his domestic routine and community. As he interacts with various characters, including a modest housemaid and a more modern, assertive woman, he is forced to confront his own aversions to change and his apprehensions about relationships. The novel delves into the internal struggles of a man who has never been in love and is hesitant to embrace emotional intimacy, highlighting themes of loneliness, emotional restraint, and personal growth. The protagonist's resistance to romantic attachment and his internal reflections on the nature of companionship reflect the broader social pressures surrounding marriage and courtship. As the story progresses, the introduction of a more progressive, independent woman challenges his well-ordered life, prompting him to reconsider his views on love, commitment, and his own emotional capacities. Coelebs ultimately examines the complexities of relationships and the process of self-discovery, suggesting that love can be a transformative force even for those who are most reluctant to embrace it.

About Author

F. E. Mills Young

Florence Ethel Mills Young was an English author born in 1875 in Twickenham, Middlesex, who wrote over 50 books between 1910 and 1941. Known for her popular fiction, Young's early works often focused on the experiences of the English in southern Africa. She skillfully depicted the complexities of life in this region, particularly in relation to colonialism and the tensions surrounding cultural and racial divides. One of her notable works, Myles Calthrope I. D. B., was adapted into the 1920 film Thou Art the Man. Young's novel A Mistaken Marriage (1908) reflected the prejudices of the time, featuring negative portrayals of Jewish characters involved in illegal activities like diamond selling. Her writing style, characterized by remarkable fluency and a firm grasp on plot development, was praised in various literary circles, including The Spectator, which highlighted her 1914 work The Purple Mists for its depiction of a "strong, silent man." In addition to her novels, at least one of Young's works was translated into German, further demonstrating her international appeal.
