Lord Lister No. 0125: Een vreemde geschiedenis

The narrative follows Lady Forster, a privileged woman struggling with constrained domestic life, and her domineering husband, a self-made steel magnate whose ruthless rise from laborer to industrial power is recounted. Scenes alternate between domestic interior and industrial backstory, depicting his coercive tactics, orchestration of a major strike, and readiness to use violence or deceit to advance. Themes include class conflict, ambition, control, and the personal cost of power, shown through Lady Forster's private despair and his public authority, as tensions within their household and among workers foreshadow further upheaval.
