Produktbeschreibung
The lively adventures of Gavin Hamilton presents a layered reflection on identity, duty, and ambition against the backdrop of shifting alliances and battlefield uncertainty. Rather than glorifying conflict, it centers on the internal reckoning that occurs when lineage and expectation collide with lived experience. The novel follows a journey marked not only by movement through space but by a search for belonging amid impersonal violence and fractured loyalty. Through the contrast of survival and pride, it interrogates the price of honor in a world where titles and backgrounds can both empower and isolate. The camaraderie that emerges between those caught in war s margins reveals how connection becomes a defense against chaos. With its detailed historical setting, the work elevates the personal trials within the broader machinery of empire and ambition. It becomes not only a chronicle of escape and perseverance but a meditation on what is left when illusions of heritage are stripped by necessity. In this portrayal of grit beneath the veneer of valor, the novel offers a complex picture of identity forged not in glory but in persistence.
Autorenporträt
Molly Elliot Seawell was born on October 23, 1860, in Gloucester, Virginia, and died on November 15, 1916, in Washington, D.C., at the age of 56. She came from a prominent Virginia family and was the niece of U.S. President John Tyler. Her father, John Tyler Seawell, played a formative role in her intellectual development. She was raised on a plantation and received a nontraditional education, famously being given the freedom to explore a personal library filled with the finest works of 18th-century literature. This early immersion in classical reading shaped her style and literary voice. Seawell became known for her historical and fictional works that often focused on honor, patriotism, and personal integrity, qualities drawn from her Southern upbringing and interest in national identity. Though her works were accessible and popular in her time, they often carried deeper reflections on duty, class, and gender roles. She gained recognition for novels like Maid Marian and Other Stories and her biographies and juvenile fiction. Throughout her career, she maintained a strong presence in American letters, contributing to the literary landscape of the late 19th and early 20th centuries with both charm and intellect.
