Synopsis "The Flight Of Pony Baker"
"The Flight of Pony Baker" is a novella written by William Dean Howells, an American realist author, and literary critic. This work was first published in 1902. Howells is known for his keen observation of American society and his portrayal of ordinary people in everyday situations. The story revolves around a young boy named Pony Baker who is living in a small American town. Pony's father is a prosperous lawyer, but the family faces financial difficulties. When the Bakers decide to move to Boston in search of better opportunities, Pony is torn between the familiarity of his hometown and the prospect of a new life in the city. As the Bakers settle in Boston, Pony experiences the challenges of adapting to urban life and the stark differences between the small town and the bustling city. The novella explores themes of change, the impact of societal expectations, and the contrast between rural and urban environments. "The Flight of Pony Baker" is a reflection on the transformations occurring in American society during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, capturing the essence of the shift from agrarian communities to more industrialized urban settings. Howells uses Pony Baker's story to delve into the social and economic changes of the time, offering readers a glimpse into the experiences of individuals navigating this period of transition. Overall, the novella provides a poignant exploration of the human experience amid societal changes, all wrapped in Howells's characteristic realist style.
