A propos de cet article

Hardcover. Knopf Borzoi New Pocket Book, 1929 edition. xvii; 299 pgs. 7" x 4.5" w. Publisher's brown cloth with black design on front and black letters and design on spine. Slightly scuffed extremities. Very good condition marred by chipped fore-edges of front and back covers. Binding tight. Blue-green decorative endpapers designed by W.A. Dwiggins. Free of markings. "The Lord of the Sea" by M. P. Shiel is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story unfolds in a richly detailed world, diving into the lives of intertwining characters such as Richard Hogarth and Margaret Hogarth amidst a backdrop of societal upheaval, including the persecution of Jewish communities in Europe. The narrative engages with themes of identity, love, power, and the struggle against oppressive systems. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to the atmosphere of Lisbon during the Day of Atonement in a synagogue, where an old woman, sensing an impending crisis, faints while calling for her daughter, Rebekah. The plot quickly shifts to the tension rising in Europe against Jews, revealing economic motives with Baruch Frankl seizing Westring Vale. Richard Hogarth, described as the "Black Hogarth," faces challenges and confrontations that arise due to this turmoil. As the story unfolds, conflicts revolving around land ownership, social status, and romantic entanglements establish a personal and political drama that weighs heavily on Hogarth and those around him, hinting at the chaos that will continue to unfold in the narrative."/Project Gutenberg. …

Description de la boutique

New bookseller finding appreciative homes for an eclectic collection of used books acquired over the lifetime of their previous owner. The majority of the books date from the late 1900's to the mid-2000's. Almost all are flawed in some manner due to use, time, and improper storage. While not usually beautiful books, the contents will reflect the author's interests and knowledge of their time whether writing fiction or non-fiction. We have a wide selection of both.
