Synopsis

Un roman historique qui présente l'importance économique du chanvre en tant que matière première précoce pour les vêtements, les cordes maritimes et autres produits de cordage. Les agriculteurs avaient peu de terre conquise, forteresse, pleine propriété dans la nature sauvage occidentale avant de devenir semeurs de chanvre, avec le souvenir de la Virginie et de la Grande-Bretagne. Il y a beaucoup de choses sur la culture et la récolte du chanvre dans ce livre, et un jeune homme qui travaille dans les champs de chanvre pour gagner de l'argent pour payer ses études dans un collège biblique. Ce conte romantique de la vie sur les champs de chanvre du Kentucky évite la plupart des associations de drogues attachées plus tard à la marijuana. même s'il discute du climat intellectuel du Kentucky au tournant du siècle.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

James Lane Allen (December 21, 1849 – February 18, 1925) was an American novelist and short story writer whose work, including the novel A Kentucky Cardinal, often depicted the culture and dialects of his native Kentucky. His work is characteristic of the late-19th century local color era, when writers sought to capture the vernacular in their fiction. Allen has been described as "Kentucky's first important novelist.Allen was born near Lexington, Kentucky, and his youth there during the Ante-bellum, Civil War, and Reconstruction periods heavily influenced his writing. He graduated from Transylvania University in 1872, delivering the Salutatorian address in Latin. In 1893 Allen moved to New York City, where he lived until his death. He was a contributor to Harper's Magazine, The Atlantic Monthly, and other popular magazines of the time. His novels include The Choir Invisible, which was a very popular best seller in 1897
