Produktbeschreibung
A fleeting moment becomes a lasting memory in All For A Scrap Of Paper, a wartime romance that endures beyond the front lines. A moving story of affection tested by distance, duty and the pressures of a world at war, it speaks with clarity and quiet passion to readers who love longing, letters, and the stubborn hope that love can survive disruption. This is more than a tale of courtship in the heat of conflict. The book unfolds with a clear, human voice that entwines personal devotion with the broader tremors of the northern European front, under the shadow of the British home front. It offers the texture of early twentieth¿century life-the rituals, the uncertainty, the small acts of courage that illuminate daily life in wartime. For historical fiction readers and WWI literature fans alike, the novel offers a thoughtful meditation on love's endurance against vast, impersonal forces. Alpha Editions is proud to bring this public domain treasure back to life. Out of print for decades and now republished, it has been restored for today's readers and for future generations. More than a reprint, it's a collector's item and a cultural treasure-beautifully suited to both casual readers and classic¿literature enthusiasts who treasure historical romance, wartime courtship, and the enduring power of letters and longing.
Autorenporträt
Joseph Hocking was a Cornish author and United Methodist Free Church priest. Hocking was born in St Stephen-in-Brannel, Cornwall, to James Hocking, a part-owner of a tin mine, and Elizabeth (Kitto) Hocking. In 1884, he was ordained a Methodist minister. Working in various regions of England over the next few years, he completed his first novel, Harry Penhale - The Trial of his Faith, while in London in 1887. He saw fiction as a highly successful method for communicating his Christian message to the public, and he combined writing with church obligations until illness caused him to leave from the ministry in 1909. His final pastoral charge was the huge and important United Free Church in Woodford, Essex, which he helped rebuild by the skilled arts and crafts architect Charles Harrison Townsend. He continued to write, and in his career, he published approximately 100 volumes. Although virtually forgotten today, he was extremely popular in his day.
