Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book, a charming piece of historical fiction, follows the escapades of Dom Quick Jota, an eccentric figure with an outsized intellect and ambitions that vastly outsize his frame, as he embarks on a journey into the wider world in search of adventure. Accompanying him is his stout and easily-impressed companion, Sweet Briar. Along their journey, the two travelers encounter bandits, roguish behavior, and the typical, everyday hypocrisies of society that drive Dom Quick to fits of rage. Dom is a proponent of living outside the bounds of social convention, espousing a morality of self-interest and cunning. While Sweet Briar, much more affable than his companion, cannot help but see the virtues in kindness and honesty, even as he aspires to the greatness he believes Dom embodies. Through their interactions, the author explores the nature of ambition, the limits of personal responsibility, and the nature of morality in a world where self-interest often clashes with the needs of the greater good. It is a humorous and moving novel about two friends whose personalities clash even as their friendship grows against all odds. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781334132933_0
