Produktbeschreibung
A Cumberland Vendetta by John Fox Jr. explores themes of loyalty, revenge, and the destructive nature of family feuds. The story examines how deeply-rooted enmities shape individual lives and choices. The novel highlights the internal conflict of the protagonist, torn between family loyalty and personal emotions, particularly as he develops feelings for someone from the rival family. The struggle between love and duty becomes central as characters grapple with the idea of revenge, the impact of past wrongs, and the moral consequences of their actions. Themes of innocence lost and the difficulty of escaping cycles of violence also permeate the narrative. The harsh wilderness setting amplifies the sense of isolation and the burden of inherited grudges, while the relationships between the characters reflect the complexities of human emotions under pressure. Ultimately, the novel portrays the heavy cost of vengeance and the challenges of breaking free from generational conflicts, questioning whether personal desires can ever outweigh familial obligations in a world defined by bloodshed and loyalty.

Autorenporträt
John Fox Jr. was an American journalist, novelist, and short story writer. Fox was born in Stony Point, Kentucky, to John William Fox Sr. and Minerva Worth Carr. He attended Harvard University to study English. He graduated in 1883 and then worked as a reporter in New York City. After working for the New York Times and the New York Sun, he successfully serialized his first novel, A Mountain Europa, in Century magazine in 1892. Two modestly successful short story collections followed, as did his first conventional book, The Kentuckians, published in 1898. Fox rose to prominence as a combat correspondent, writing for Harper's Weekly in Cuba during the Spanish-American combat of 1898, where he served with the "rough Riders." Fox wrote for journals on occasion, but after 1904, he focused primarily on fiction. The Little Shepherd of Kingdom Come (published in 1903) and The Trail of the Lonesome Pine (released in 1908) are among his most well-known and successful works, appearing on the New York Times' top ten list of bestselling novels in 1903, 1904, 1908, and 1909.
