Présentation de l'éditeur
Leopold is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. The aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature, and our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. The contents of the vast majority of titles in the Classic Library have been scanned from the original works. To ensure a high quality product, each title has been meticulously hand curated by our staff. This means that we have checked every single page in every title, making it highly unlikely that any material imperfections – such as poor picture quality, blurred or missing text - remain. When our staff observed such imperfections in the original work, these have either been repaired, or the title has been excluded from the Leopold Classic Library catalogue. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, within the book we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with a book that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic work, and that for you it becomes an enriching experience.

Présentation de l'éditeur
Portland or Wormwood Scrubbs, with a gas jet, and a Bible, and a spy-hole in the door, and a warder walking up and down outside. It is a very different sort of prison that holds me, Hugh Lynch thirty-one years of age, and good for nothing any more this dead, damp, choking-hot northwestern afternoon. The walls are corrugated iron, whitewashed, and very clean; there is a sleeping mat on the floor, and a pillow and a box and a tin basin. The window is an open shutter, looking out to sea. I could break through it, or the floor, with a penknife, any night supposing Wilks, the jailer, had not left the door open, as he generally does. Wilks is lazy, and does not much like the bother of having a white prisoner; he put me on parole the first day I was here, so that he should not be troubled to look after me.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This riveting historical fiction is set in the early 20th-century frontier of British New Guinea. It follows the tale of Hugh Lynch, a rugged Irish adventurer who escapes a wrecked ship onto the island of Clare in 1898. The author confronts many social issues and cultural clashes as Lynch makes a life for himself amongst the local indigenous tribes and eventually falls in love with and marries one of the women of the island, Kari. However, Hugh's life is turned upside down when he meets Bert Sanderson, a handsome and charismatic Australian trader, who harbours dangerous intentions. The raw and compelling narrative encompasses themes of identity, culture, and the often brutal consequences of love and betrayal. Ultimately, this book is an exploration of the human condition and the ways in which our choices can shape our destinies.
