Excerpt from The Bars of Iron
Brief and contemptuous the question fell. The Speaker was a mere lad. He could not have been more than nine teen. But he held himself with the superb British assur ance that has its root in the British public school and which, once planted, in certain soils is wholly ineradicable. The man he faced was considerably his superior in height and build. He also was British, but he had none of the other's careless ease of bearing. He stood like an angry bull, with glaring, bloodshot eyes. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book tells the story of a young man, Piers Evesham, living in the late nineteenth century. He is a wild, impulsive character who seems to relish danger, often engaging in reckless activities, much to the chagrin of his strict, elderly grandfather. Piers lives a life of privilege, yet his impulsive nature and thirst for adventure set him apart from the world of rigid societal norms and expectations. He clashes with his grandfather and even gets into a brawl with a local bully. The author skillfully interweaves themes of class, tradition, and the clash between youthful exuberance and the strictures of the Victorian era, exploring the complexities of a young man struggling to find his place in a world seemingly determined to confine him. Through Piers' experiences, the author reveals the constraints and consequences of societal expectations, while also highlighting the powerful allure of freedom and self-expression. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
