Produktbeschreibung
A quiet coastline hides a storm-tested past. Defending The Island situates 1758 Bar Harbor, Maine, at the heart of a tense clash between settlers and Indigenous communities, where shoreline defence strategies meet the brutal demands of war and weather. This historical novella blends brisk, outdoor-lit action with intimate portraits of families and neighbours pressed into a fragile frontier. The result is a tension-filled voyage through eighteenth century New England, told with clarity, humanity, and a deep sense of place that will hook historical fiction fans and local history readers alike. James Otis crafts not just a tale of military conflict but a study of how communities negotiate survival, memory, and belonging when the sea itself seems an adversary. The book's themes-duty, diplomacy, and the costs of empire-resonate beyond the period, inviting classroom discussion and personal reflection. For casual readers, it delivers brisk narrative and vivid settings; for classic-literature collectors, it offers a rare cultural document, freshly accessible to a new generation. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure. This is historical fiction grounded in regional history, a window into colonial America literature, and a tangible link to Bar Harbor, Maine's maritime past.
