The Emperor'S Rout

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

A sweeping odyssey through empire, ambition and the human cost of conquest. A tale that travels from crowded European streets to distant shores, where power, creed and ambition collide in a crucible of history. This edition brings The Emperor's Rout back with care for readers today: a compact, stirring historical fiction that blends adventure with serious reflection on imperialism themes, military campaigns, and empire politics. The late eighteenth century world it portrays-public domain fiction alive again-offers a vivid canvas for readers of classic novels and those building a classroom reading list with connections to colonial literature selections and European settings. It remains accessible as a compelling, tightly wound narrative about duty, loyalty and the moral price of empire. Alpha Editions restores this work not merely as a reprint but as a cultural treasure, a preserved piece of our literary heritage for new generations. It invites casual readers to lose themselves in a vivid, story-driven experience while rewarding collectors with a genuine, enduring artefact from the canon of public domain fiction. The Emperor's Rout stands as a landmark within adventure fiction and historical fiction alike, a careful bridge between past and present, inviting discussion, exploration and appreciation for readers who seek depth, texture and resonance in their reading. A veteran of its era, a beacon for today: a true find for readers of classic literature and anyone charting the arc of empire through drama, strategy and character.
