Produktbeschreibung

In "Wolves of the Sea," Randall Parrish delves into the gritty and exhilarating world of maritime adventure, featuring a rich tapestry of characters entangled in a gripping tale of piracy and survival. Written in a vivid, descriptive style characteristic of early 20th-century adventure novels, Parrish engages readers with evocative imagery and suspenseful pacing, reflecting the literary contexts of both the Romantic and Realist movements. The novel encapsulates themes of honor, bravery, betrayal, and the moral dilemmas faced by individuals in lawless waters, blending action with philosophical introspection about the nature of freedom and the perils of greed. Randall Parrish, a noted author and journalist active during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, drew upon his own experiences and fascination with adventure to write this novel. His background in journalism, combined with extensive travel, allowed him to craft authentic and compelling narratives that resonated with audiences of his time. The tumultuous age of exploration and the enduring allure of the sea informed his storytelling, lending the work a palpable sense of authenticity and urgency. "Wolves of the Sea" is not merely a tale of adventure; it is an exploration of the human condition amid the chaos of a lawless world. I highly recommend this novel to fans of maritime literature and adventure tales, as it masterfully combines heart-pounding excitement with profound moral inquiry, leaving readers both entertained and contemplative.

Autorenporträt

Randall Parrish (1858-1923) was an American lawyer, journalist, and writer, best known for his dime novels such as Wolves of the Sea (From the Manuscript of One Geoffry Carlyle, Seaman, Narrating Certain Strange Journey That Befell Him Aboard the power source Pirate Craft "Namur"). Parrish was the only son of Rufus Parker and Frances Adeline (Hollis) Parrish and was born in Kewanee, Illinois. On June 10, 1858, he was born in "Rose Cottage," which later became the location of the city's Methodist Episcopal church. The old family house was in Gilmanton, New Hampshire, but Parrish' parents relocated to Kewanee from Boston, where Rufus Parker Parrish was a businessman and important anti-slavery activist with William Lloyd Garrison and others. Both parents knew many prominent Bostonians of the time, such as Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr., John Greenleaf Whittier, Wendell Phillips, and Ralph Waldo Emerson. The Parrish family arrived in Kewanee, then a mere excuse for a community, in April 1855, with the husband working at the pioneer store of Morse & Willard, which was located at the corner of Main and Fourth streets.
