Synopsis

A tense crossing of cultures in a dangerous Calabrian landscape, where courage, faith, and loyalty are tested at every turn.

In this vivid Calabrian tale, a young English traveler, Horace Cleveland, faces heat, hostility, and a dangerous journey as he travels with his mother toward a distant inn. Across the hills, a band of hardened outlaws and a gifted storyteller challenge him to confront his own beliefs, courage, and resolve. Though the setting is rough and perilous, the story anchors itself in faith, duty, and the sense that a higher power guides even the darkest paths.

As danger closes in, the characters confront trials that ask what it means to stand firm. A moment of mercy, a test of loyalty, and a dramatic clash between restraint and violence push every choice to the edge. The book follows a fraught voyage through fear and danger toward a reckoning that will redefine what it means to be brave.

• Experience a richly drawn journey through a sunbaked landscape where hospitality is scarce and danger lurks in every corner.
• Meet Horace, his mother, and a cast of compelling figures whose motives blur the line between ally and adversary.
• Explore themes of faith, duty, courage, and the pull between self-preservation and noble sacrifice.
• Follow fast-paced encounters, moral questions, and moments of unexpected mercy that shape the outcome of a perilous pursuit.

Ideal for readers who enjoy historical adventure with strong ethical questions and a vivid sense of place.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Excerpt from The Robbers' Cave

"Lazy dog! can't he drive faster - keeping us grilling here in the heat! I should like to have the use of his whip for a few minutes and try its effect upon his shoulders!" Such was the impatient exclamation of Horace Cleveland, as for the third time he thrust his head out of the carriage window.
