Buch. Etat : Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - A late nineteenth-century adventure novel set against political upheaval in the Caribbean, combining journalism, romance, and imperial intrigue.Soldiers of Fortune follows the fortunes of Robert Clay, an American engineer drawn into a revolutionary conflict in a fictional Caribbean republic, where financial interests, political instability, and foreign intervention converge. As Clay becomes entangled in efforts to secure control of a valuable iron concession, the narrative unfolds through a sequence of episodes involving military action, diplomatic manoeuvring, and personal allegiance, reflecting contemporary anxieties surrounding expansion, commerce, and governance.Richard Harding Davis, himself a prominent journalist and war correspondent, brings to the novel a familiarity with international affairs and the mechanics of reportage. The work is marked by its brisk pacing and observational detail, blending elements of adventure fiction with a quasi-documentary sensibility. Its portrayal of American involvement abroad situates it within a broader literary context concerned with the emergence of the United States as an international power at the turn of the twentieth century.First published in 1897, Soldiers of Fortune achieved considerable popularity and was later adapted for the stage and early cinema. It remains of interest as a representative example of its genre, as well as for its insight into the cultural and political assumptions of its period. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781515432135
