Produktbeschreibung
Richard Carvel explores the personal and political upheavals of colonial Maryland through the eyes of its protagonist, who reflects on a privileged but complicated upbringing. Rooted in the affections of his grandfather, a prominent loyalist, and challenged by the shadow of an ambitious uncle, the early chapters focus on memory, inheritance, and the tension between individual desire and family expectation. The narrative captures the atmosphere of a society on the edge of revolution, where tradition and transformation collide. Against this backdrop, the young narrator begins to sense the power structures that both support and constrain him. The affections he holds for his cousin and the values he inherits from his elders shape his early worldview, even as deeper forces of history begin to stir. The story is not just about one man's life, but about a nation in flux, and the ways in which personal identity is tested by broader change. Through this reflection, the work presents a layered examination of allegiance, love, and the quest for selfhood.
Autorenporträt
Winston Churchill was an American novelist born on November 10, 1871, in St. Louis, Missouri. He is known for being a best-selling writer during the early 20th century, though he is often overshadowed by the famous British statesman of the same name, to whom he was not related. Churchill attended the Mary Institute and St. Louis Country Day School before enrolling in the United States Naval Academy, where he received his education. Over the course of his writing career, he became well-regarded for his novels, which often explored social, political, and historical themes. His works captured the attention of readers with their engaging plots and deep character development. Churchill spent his later years in Winter Park, Florida, where he passed away on March 12, 1947, at the age of 75. Though he is not as widely remembered today as other authors of his time, his contributions to American literature were significant, and his novels enjoyed considerable popularity during his lifetime. His exploration of human struggles within societal structures continues to offer insight into the social and cultural landscapes of his era.
