About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of Flaming Youth by Samuel Hopkins Adams. Read in English by MrsLSid This book tells the story of the Fentriss sisters and their mother. They are educated and rich. They live in a suburb. They are looking for love. Their quest for love leads them to many different places. F. Scott Fitzgerald wrote about it: "the novel persuaded certain moralistic people that a woman could be seduced without being immoral". It was scandalous for the time because of the frank descriptions of sexuality and relationships. Yet to the modern readers it may seem as if someone wrote this book only a few years ago. The author was a well respected journalist and novelist. This book was so "risky" for him that he published it under a pen name. It is recommended to those who wish to learn about the Jazz age, about the new woman (as she is seen by a man) and about a discourse which was completely new at the time. Important note: the author died in 1958. Yet, according to the rule of the short term, as the book was first published in the USA, it is in the public domain all over the world. - Summary by Stav Nisser.
