Produktbeschreibung
Sir Isumbras at the ford reflects on loyalty, family duty, and the complexities of identity during a period of upheaval. The novel explores the struggle to reconcile personal attachments with broader political responsibilities in the shadow of revolution. Through the portrayal of displaced lives and divided allegiances, it highlights the challenges of belonging and the longing for stability when home is fractured by conflict. The contrast between safety in exile and the dangers of a homeland torn by revolution serves as a powerful backdrop for the exploration of inner conflict and resilience. The narrative considers how the past shapes the present, weaving together the weight of ancestry and the influence of inherited obligations. The tension between old loyalties and new realities deepens the examination of duty, sacrifice, and the hope for reconciliation. The work offers a thoughtful meditation on how individuals navigate uncertainty while holding on to what defines them.
